Who: One of the most famous early surreal artists was Andre
Breton who was very famous for his belief that surrealism was above all a
revolutionary movement.
Another one is Jean Arp who was very famous for winning
prizes from the year 1954 to the year 1965 for his sculpture artwork that he
always made surreal. He now has a foundation based off of his artwork.
Thirdly, Pablo Picasso who was very famous for his many
different ways he did surreal art work, for example he did cubism to distort a
regular picture into something that looked human but all distorted.
In this picture made by Andre Breton I see lots of different
things but none of them should be there. For example I see a head and face made
up of pipes, scraps of metal, weapons, and lots of other things that should not
be there and especially bundled all together like that. Also, I see two pink
creatures in the background that appear to have made the face but that animals
are pink and look like cats or mice and that should not be that way little
alone the fact the appear to have made the face.
This sculpture was made by Jean Arp and this sculpture is
hard to make out, it all depends on how you look at it and what your mind and
eyes see. For example I can see a torso with no head but it appears to have
shoulders and thighs. Now if I were to move a little then the sculpture might
appear to become something else like part of a tree or maybe for the people who
have a very small and limited imagination they might see nothing at all. That
is the weird thing about this is because once you think you see what it is then
your mind or eyes will see something else and contradict what you see.
This picture was made by Pablo Picasso, and this is a
weirder picture because you know what it is and you also have an idea of what
it is made out of but it almost feels real so it gives you that edgy feeling.
To me I see a woman playing a string instrument but it almost feels like she is
made out of the wall behind her but the wall and the woman are both made out of
paper it seems like.
The Surreal Art Movement began in the 1920’s and was in-fact
best known for visual art works and writings. The movement went through both
World Wars but some surreal artists say that after WW2, the surreal artist
movement died off.
The reason why it started is because artists wanted to
create this dream world or other world pictures and writings because they
believed it would pave the way for the future of art.
Back then almost all surreal artists came from Europe, some
did come from America but most came from Europe.
It inspires younger people to carry on this kind of art and
push the limits of ones mind. It is very healthy for young minds to grow at a
young state
