Surrealism, Magritte, and Time Transfixed Zak Rubio

Background Surrealism: Art movement that succeeded Dada and incorporated the improvisational nature of its predecessor into its exploration of the ways to expose in art the world of dreams and the unconscious. Famous Surrealists: Frida Kahlo, Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali

Types of Surrealism Biomorphic Surrealism Naturalistic Surrealism In Biomorphic Surrealism, automatism predominated. Automatism is the unconscious control of the creation of art. In Naturalistic Surrealism, scenes seem to have metamorphosed into a dream or nightmare. Joan Miro Rene Magritte

About Rene Magritte He was born in Belgium but did most of his work in Paris. Influenced by Giorgio de Chirico Style based on absurd combinations of realistically painted objects Treachery of Images Elective Affinities Son of Man

Content: Time Transfixed By Rene Magritte Made in Paris Style: Surrealism Oil on Canvas Content: Fireplace with a clock, two candles, and a mirror resting on top. The stovepipe has transformed into a train.

Stylistic Characteristics: Crisp edges demonstrate order Extremely Detailed Intense Realism Context: Bought by Edward James (Major Surrealist Supporter) Painted to show mystery and invoke questions Clock symbolizes time Influenced by Giorgio de Chirico Notice no reflection in the mirror except the clock and candle.

Title: Philosopher’s Conquest Artist: Girogio De Chirico Country: Italy Style: Surrealism Medium: Oil on Canvas Content: An Italian piazza containing artichokes, cannon, cannonballs, clock, pillar, train, ship, and a monumental brick tower standing in the back

Similarities Share the theme of time with the clock The mystery of the train is prevalent in both paintings Both create mystery through odd placement of weird objects

Title: Son of Man Artist: Magritte Country: France Medium: Oil On Canvas Content: Self portrait of Magritte with green apple and branch in front of his face Even in a simple portrait, Magritte places an odd object next to his face. It provokes questions and mysteries about the hidden and visible. Because the apple is there (the visible), we want to find out what his face looks like (the hidden).
