This painting is by Salvador Dali. It is called: Soft Watch at a Moment of First Explosion. In the image it portrays several clocks melting in what looks like a dessert area. In the background of the image you can see what looks like a cliff and a sunset. The clocks are also meting on what looks like a dead tree, a rock, and a shelf.

 

This painting is by Giorgio de Chirico. It is called: Hector and Andromache. In this image you can see the figure of two people, made out of different shapes, but both figures have several triangles attached to their bodies. In the background it looks like there is two building, one on each side.

 

This Painting is by Vladimir Kush. The name of the painting is Africa Sanata. In the painting there are several animals such as elephants, bids, and what looks like a gazelle. The elephants have tubas for trunks and the gazelle has what looks like a harp in its horns. The glass in the photo is also shaped out off brass instruments.

 

       The Movement of Surrealism started in the early 1920s. This Movement occurred because many artists were questioning reality and exploring dreams and subconscious thoughts. Also, most surrealism is from France. It is important to our culture and our imaginations to prove such imagery because everyone imagination is on different levels and with this are style being a mix of reality and dreams, It shows people that your imagination has no limits.  

   

Man Ray: his image is of a woman’s face. You can only see from her eyes to the bottom of her nose. It looks as if there are tears, three on each cheek, but they are perfectly round and symmetrical on each side of the face.

René Magritte: there is a man standing by a brick wall about waist high. Behind the wall there looks to be an ocean. The man is in a suit and tie he also is wearing a hat. And in front of his face is an apple.

Salvador Dalí: There are two elephants face to face. The legs on the elephants are almost skeletal looking very thin and very long. The elephants legs make them around 20 stories high. On the elephants there are pyramid shaped objects floating a few feet from their backs. In between them are two people also standing face to face. Behind is a somewhat flat background with a few hills.

The surrealist movement started around the 1920s with the end of WWI

Most artists from Europe

Surrealist movement occurred after ww1 a way of coping with the destruction

I think it is important for artists to provide this kind of imagery for a few reasons. First I think it’s a good way to get people thinking and in today’s world I think this would help. Second it’s a good way to get ideas out. Ideas that might not be popular or that might not be fully expressed using words.

Salvador Dalí was pretty popular for his artwork in surrealism. He was highly imaginative. In 1931, he painted one of his most famous works, The Persistence of Memory. This painting introduced a surrealistic image of soft melting pocket watches. The interpretation that I got from his work is that time is rigid and is forced out of shape. 

Giorgio de Chirico was an artist that founded the scuola metafisica  art movement, which influenced the surrealists. The Song of Love is one of the most famous works of de Chirico and an example of the early surrealist style. It depicts an outdoor setting with a small wall that has a main focus of a mounted Greek sculpted head. 

 

Max Ernst was another popular surrealist painter. The Elephant Celebes is one of Ernst’s most famous surrealist works he did in 1921 and was “undoubtedly the first masterpiece of Surrealist painting in the De Chirico tradition.” 

• The surrealist art movement occurred in the early 1920’s. Surrealism developed out of the activities during World War 1. It started in Paris then the movement spread around the world affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music.

• The surrealist movement occurred because of negative reactions to the horrors of World War 1.

• Most surrealist artists were from Paris.

• It is important for our culture and imaginations, for artists to provide such imagery to the public because the images make us think more about how those things work together in that strange way. It provides us with a bigger imagination.
