The Surrealism Art Movement developed in Europe between World Wars I & II & arose principally out of the earlier rebellious & boundary pushing Dada movement. (#Dadaism)

“The Surrealism movement represented a reaction against what members saw as the destruction by the “rationalism” that had guided European culture & politics in the past & had culminated in the horrors of WW I.”

The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali

Surrealism was a means of reuniting conscious & unconscious realms of experience so completely that the world of dream & fantasy would be joined to the everyday rational world in “an absolute reality, a surreality.”

Man Ray

“Drawing heavily on theories adapted from Sigmund Freud, Breton saw the unconscious as the wellspring of the imagination, however not driven by logic, but rather the psychological unconscious thought processes”

The Lovers - Rene Magritte

Surrealist painting was influenced not only by Dadaism but also by the fantastic and grotesque images of earlier painters such as Hieronymus Bosch.

“The practice of Surrealist art strongly emphasized methodological research and experimentation, stressing the work of art as a means for prompting personal psychic investigation & revelation.”

“Breton, however, demanded firm doctrinal allegiance. Thus, although the Surrealists held a group show in Paris in 1925, the history of the movement is full of expulsions, defections, & personal attacks.”

Notable Surrealists include Jean Arp, Max Ernst, André Masson, René Magritte, Yves Tanguy, Salvador Dalí, Pierre Roy, Paul Delvaux, and Joan Miró.

The work of these artists is too diverse to be summarized categorically as the Surrealist approach in the visual arts.

Each artist sought his own means of self-exploration. Some pursued a spontaneous revelation of the unconscious, freed from the controls of the conscious mind.

Miró, used Surrealism as a liberating starting point for an exploration of personal fantasies, conscious or unconscious, often through formal means of great beauty.

One extreme is exemplified at its purest by the works of Arp, the viewer is confronted with images, usually biomorphic, that are suggestive but indefinite.

Joan Miró - Tilled.Ashx

🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿🌟🐝🌟🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿

#PAM #PAMFAM #Surrealism

Ernst, Masson, and Miró followed an organic, emblematic, or absolute approach to Surrealism.

Jean Arp

🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿🌟🐝🌟🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿

#PAM #PAMFAM #Surrealism
⏱Surrealism⏱

The viewer is confronted by a world that is completely defined and minutely depicted but that makes no rational sense:

“One can find recognizable, realistically painted images are often removed from their normal contexts & reassembled within an ambiguous, paradoxical, or provoking framework.”

André Masson - The Moon - 1938

🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿🌟🐝🌟🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿

#PAM #PAMFAM #Surrealism

“The work aims to provoke a sympathetic response in the viewer, forcing him to acknowledge the inherent “sense” of the irrational and logically inexplicable.”

René Magritte - Peintre Belge

🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿🌟🐝🌟🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿

#PAM #PAMFAM #Surrealism
⏱Surrealism⏱

The most direct form of this approach was taken by Magritte in simple but powerful paintings e.g. portraying a normal table setting that includes a plate holding a slice of ham, from the center stares a human eye.

René Magritte - The Portrait

#PAM #Surrealism
⏱Surrealism⏱

Dalí, Roy, and Delvaux rendered similar but more complex alien worlds that resemble compelling dreamlike scenes.

A number of specific techniques were devised by the Surrealists to evoke psychic responses.

Yves Tanguy - Through Birds Through Fire But Not Through Glass

🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿🌟🐝🌟🌿🌟🦋🌟🌿

#PAM #PAMFAM #Surrealism

Among these were frottage (rubbing with graphite over wood or other grained substances) & grattage (scraping the canvas) both developed by Ernst to produce partial images, which were to be completed in the mind of the viewer.

Salvador Dali

#PAM #Surrealism
⏱Surrealism⏱

Also, automatic drawing, a spontaneous, uncensored recording of chaotic images that “erupt” into the consciousness of the artist; and found objects.

Pierre Roy - A Naturalist’s Study - 1938

Surrealism provided a major alternative to the contemporary, highly formalistic Cubist movement and was largely responsible for perpetuating in modern painting the traditional emphasis on content.
