REBEL + ART = SURREALISM

                              Surrealism

Surrealism was created in the early 1910’s, in France it started during the World War 1; surrealism was more of visual art and artists would create dreamlike paintings. Surrealism Paintings were different from others paintings like you would see weird objects painted oddly and put in strange positions that you would not see in reality; these paintings had a lot of mind, dreams and thoughts put into it.

What defines the art movement ‘surrealism’? well surrealism came from the movement called Dada .Dada was a movement which artists showed how they feel about war and life; the ideal of going against the traditional art /non art telling the audience that the European culture has lost its meaning ,the movement showed their violence against the traditional art, Dada was like a protest for the artist. The key players were Andre Breton who was an French poet and writer plus he wrote a book called manifesto of surrealism in 1924; Andre got the word surrealism from a French poet called Guillaume Apollinaire it was based on his drama .there were two styles of surrealism and that was art that looks extraordinary ‘something that came out of a dream ‘and art that Very abstract and lyrical imagery. During this time some artist called themselves surrealists like Giorgio De Chirico, Salvador Dali and Alberto Giacometti. Surrealism means "above realism". Dadaism didn't mean anything. "Dada" was supposed to be a nonsense word. Also most of the artists have surrealist films like Salvador Dali.

Giorgio De Chirico

The song of love was a popular painting in 1914 painted by De Chirico by, before the movement really began. It has unrelated objects a green ball, a big rubber glove and a head of a Greek statue. De Chirico was trying to explain his feelings against of World War I.

Salvador Dali

Most famous of all the great Surrealist paintings is the Persistence of Memory. The painting is known for the melting watches in the wilderness. This gives us a sense that the painting was based on a dream showing us that time was irrelevant.

Rene Magritte

The Son of Man is a self-portrait of Rene Magritte but we can’t see his face because it was covered with an apple. the painting shows a man in a hat standing in front of a wall by the ocean  .

What is a blog?

Blog originally comes from the word weblog; a blog can be whatever you want it to be. A blog is merely a tool that lets you do anything from making food to letting people know about your lifestyle.
