Surrealism

What is Surrealism? Surrealism is a type of art that is done is a realistic style (3-dimensional rendering) but shows bizarre, dreamlike, or fantasy scenes.

The Surrealists began their movement after seeing the horrors of World War I This was also the dawn of the field of psychology, and artists began to develop an interest in the subconscious, and symbolism. Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. It was, above all, a revolutionary movement.

Today’s Task: Look at the artwork, and jot down/sketch what catches your eye, artist names, etc… Get inspired! Persistance of Memory, Salvador Dali

Drawing heavily on theories adapted from Sigmund Freud (father of psychology), Surrealists saw the unconscious as the source of the imagination. This movement continues to flourish today. Continued thought processes and investigations into the mind have produced some of the best art ever seen.

Characteristics of Surrealism: Realistic, yet impossible Dreamlike, representing unconscious thought Juxtaposing (combining elements that do not belong together) Representing specific images in a strange way Symbolism

False Mirror, Rene Magritte
