SURREALISM The impossible becomes real

Surrealism as an official style begins in Europe in the 1920’s But surreal images can be found much earlier. Example, the work of Hieronymus Bosch from the 15th century

Surrealism embraces a dream world – anything is possible

Surreal Devices Scale change –drastically altering an objects scale. Is the apple normal size in a very small room ? Or is the apple unbelievably large?

Dislocation – placing a familiar object into an unfamiliar setting. You would not expect to find a lobster sitting on a phone. Dislocation is often used with scale change.

Levitation: an object appears to float or fly that could not in real life. Example: floating men. They appear to be defying gravity Levitation is a special form of dislocation.

Juxtaposition- joining two or more realistic images to create a new impossible/surreal image. The sails of the ship have been combined with a human body.

Transformation and Metamorphosis - objects changing into something new related to the surface and shape. This appears to be a person, but on closer inspection it is a bunch of flowers and plants.

A face or grouping of fish?

Boots made of skin or feet turning into boots?

EXAMPLES OF SURREAL ART Often more than one device is used

Question 1. What surreal device is being used in this piece by Rene Magritte?

Question 2 What surreal device is being use in this work by Rene Magritte?

Question 3 The yolk turning into the sun based on them having a similar shape is an example of which surreal device?

Question 4 Look at the larger bird. A musical instrument has been put together with a bird. Putting two unrelated objects together to create a new object is an example of which surreal device?

Question 5 The house has been placed in the middle of the ocean. Which surreal device is being used?

Question 6 Which two surreal devices are being used in this artwork?

Question 7 Look at the bowl. The bowl appears to be made out of water. What surreal device deals with something changing into something else based on what it appears to be made of.

Question 8 Which surreal device is being used? Hint: I will accept either of two answers?

Question 9 Look closely at the couple. Look closely at what is making up their faces. Their faces being made out of the shape of two other people is an example of what surreal device?

Question 10 Placing something where it does not belong, such as lizards in a light bulb is an example of which surreal device?

Answers Exchange your paper with the person across from you. Put a line through the number of any answers that are incorrect.

Number 1 Levitation The men appear to float.

Number 2 Scale change The apple fills the entire room.

Number 3 Metamorphosis The round yolk and the round sun have a similar shape.

Number 4 Juxtaposition When you place two or more unrelated items together to create something new you are using juxtaposition

Number 5 Dislocation The house does not belong floating on the water.

Number 6 Scale Change and Dislocation The landscape has been miniaturized (very small scale) and placed in an unfamiliar setting – i.e. a light bulb.

Number 7 Transformation The bowl looking as if it is made of water is transformation.

Number 8 Metamorphosis is the best answer, but I will also accept Transformation. The alien’s body parts being made out of similarly shaped vegetables is metamorphosis.

Number 9 Metamorphosis When one thing changes into or represents another thing based on SHAPE – It is metamorphosis

Number 10 Dislocation Placing an object into a new bizarre location is dislocation. Lizards do not belong inside lightbulbs.
