"ReverÃ³n's Dolls," a new photography exhibit at the Leonard Tachmes Gallery in the Design District, pays homage to the late artist and transports the spectator to the surreal realm of a forgotten world.

The exhibit features 37 works by Venezuelan photographer Luis Brito, who documented the rotting remnants of ReverÃ³n's macabre muses to preserve the legacy of his compatriot, who died in 1954 after a slow decline into dementia.
Thursdays-Saturdays. Starts: April 2. Continues through May 2, 2009
