Surrealism in 5 Minutes: Idea Behind the Art Movement
You've probably heard of Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, or Frida Kahlo. These surrealist artists created many amazing artworks. But do you know about the philosophy behind the movement? What does Freud have to do with Surrealism? Why did Dali show us his dreams and nightmares? And why did Magritte paint an image of “raining men”? Let’s find out in this story!

part of why we got so much weird art around that time is because until recently (like the last century) art had nothing to do with self expression of the individual artist. for ages and ages to be a painter was pretty exclusively a job of working for the elite and for the church doing portraiture and iconography. also, art was really narrowly viewed as “good” if and only if a painter could master representational styles- which became obsolete as soon as we got the camera. it was actually the camera which freed painters to begin exploring art as an exercise in the subconscious and absurd instead of forever striving for realism.

Surrealism art is striking - be stunning. It's not to be explained . The Dreams can be understanded but not totally . The surrealist artist don''t want to know what his surrealist paint means. The Dreams and the surrealist art are abstractions - they are nothing or can be what you want. Love it and Love the life .

If i creat a surrealistic image in photoshop and then draw that using grid would that drawing be surrealism or hyperrealism? Is it about the product or the process? Would it be a waste of time? If yes what's the point of drawing from imagination just photoshop and print it.

100 Years of Solitude is one of the greatest novels, it achieved this by weaving a beautiful family story with the profound experience of colonizing empires. I found it to be the MOST REALISTIC way of conveying the emotional and physical effects of that experience.

I keep finding amazing art videos and art documentaries on KZread. I have gone down quite the rabbit hole, especially during the pandemic/quarantine. Helped me pass the time and I have enjoyed the learning. I lead tours at a museum where i live and we have a program for 4th graders whose classes come for a tour and an art project. I'm always looking for ways to make the talks fun and engaging and hoping I leave the kids with curiosity to explore more and inspiration. Thank you for you insights.

The word Surrealism is never defined here; so, it is a combination of ‘super’ + ‘real’… a state that is created when we move outside of our limited scope of thinking and existence.

Dali didn’t care or know anything about Freud. His scientific interests were with Einstein, Heisenberg, atomic structures, golden ratio, etc. Surrealism itself started as a political and philosophical movement. It aligned with communism and even anarchism and was a direct continuation of the Dada movement before it.
@meower808

I understand where you're coming from, but it seems you may be basing this assumption off of Dali's later work. Though later in his career he did turn towards an interest with atomic structure, early on he was what one might consider a Freud fanboy. Not only did he *know* of Freud, he was fascinated by his theories, met him, and even drew him.

It seems that the Austrian founder of psychoanalysis with a household name failed to get the gist of Surrealism because he wouldn't go the extra mile to ensure the destruction of stereotype. I feel so sorry for him. He should've tried a little bit more to learn more about Surrealists and their works , while living in Vienna and loving Freudianism. Well, he must've been super busy. Too busy to do that, probably.. Maybe he would say to me, " hey, since when did you live, love and learn?" 😆
Think you've reversed the premise. Surrealism is a rebellion against psychoanalytic belief that everything we think can be reduced to boxes. A fish on a bicycle was a phrase and image that extols this premise. Interesting to hear it perceived differently.
