 Surrealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surrealists revived interest in Isidore Ducasse, known by his pseudonym “Le Comte de Lautréamont” and for the line “beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella”, and Arthur Rimbaud, two late 19th century writers believed to be the precursors of Surrealism.
Surrealists look to so-called "primitive art" as an example of expression that is not self-censored.
Many Surrealist artists regarded their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, and Breton was explicit in his belief that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.

 Mark Harden's Artchive: "Dada and Surrealism"
In the work of the Veristic Surrealists, the surface of the painting tends to be flat and glossy: the viewer is reminded as little as possible that the illusion is composed of paint and the hallucinatory effect is thereby enhanced.
After the end of the Surrealist epoch, this approach was carried into painting in New York by Arshile Gorky (1904-1948), the 'white writing' paintings of Mark Tobey (1890-1976) and, above all, the vast abstractions of Jackson Pollock which contain a strong element of drawing with paint while the artist was in an ecstatic trance.
Surrealist painting dates from the invention of frottage, although Ernst had used collage in a similarly 'psycho technical' fashion.

 Female Surrealist Artists
Divorced and living in Paris, she exhibited a single painting in the 1937 Salon des Surinipendants and was discovered by the Surrealists.
Studied with Leon Underwood in 1924, attended the Slade School of Art in 1925 and 1926, and sludied art in Paris from 1928 to 1930.
She saw her first Surrealist work in a gallery in Paris around 1929; met the poet Paul Eluard at that time.

 Surrealist Subversions: Foreword
Throughout Surrealist Subversions, Sakolsky rightly puts the emphasis on surrealist diversity--the myriad expressions of surrealism in daily life, politics, the arts, and the seemingly endless ways in which the movement has renewed itself again and again, all around the world, and over a long period of time.
In Sakolsky's case, it is surely his passion for such protosurrealist and objectively surrealist creators as Blake, Fourier, Lindsay (in his wilder moments), Angela Carter, Thelonious Monk, Joseph Jarman and Henry Threadgill that have made him feel right at home in surrealism's garden of earthly delights.
Surrealist Subversions is his largest collection by far, and is unique in many ways.

 Surrealism: Artists and their Works
Salvador Dali, probably the single best-known Surrealist artist, broke with the group due to his right-wing politics (during this period leftism was the fashion among Surrealists, and in fact in almost all intellectual circles).
The Surrealist circle was made up of many of the great artists of the 20th century, including Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Arp, Man Ray, Joan Miro, and Rene Magritte.
The Magic Realists were American artists somewhat influenced by the Surrealists.

 ArtLex on Surrealist Art
Surrealist works can have a realistic, though irrational style, precisely describing dreamlike fantasies, as in the works of René Magritte (Belgian, 1898-1967), Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904-1988), Yves Tanguy (French, 1900-1955), and Alfred Pellan (Canadian, 1906-1988).

The greatest benefit that Surrealism as gotten out of this sort of operation is the fact that we have succeeded in dialectically reconciling these two terms - perception and representation - that are so violently contradictory for the adult person, and the fact that we have thrown a bridge over the abyss that separated them.

 KMA: Accommodations of Desire: Surrealist Works on Paper Collected by Julien Levy
Surrealist artists embraced women as fetish, viewing and depicting them as muses in all kinds of compelling and unrestrained activity.
Surrealist artists sought to depict a destabilized reality through shocking juxtapositions, biomorphic abstractions, theatrical excess, and comic satire.
He was friends with and participated in the lives of the artists he represented, made Surrealist films, and initiated a Surrealist “fun house” for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

 ArtScope.net: Surrealist Experiences
A reader who seeks in Surrealist writing Aristotlean explanations or definitions as per Descartes, will be frustrated; the writing follows true to its own art, that is, it exemplifies the 'rationale' which wavers just beneath explication -- like our non-Euclidean geometries, contradictory to each other and yet all with a utility.
There is the art; the writing; and -- as an aftermath -- the theory it inspires; both in word and playfulness of media.
Surrealist Experiences, as well, includes Surrealist perambulations of the writing pen.

 Fifth Estate review of Surrealist Subversions
Many elements of the surrealist project have been downplayed or completely ignored by academia, the media, the art establishment and others who seek to keep us under control.
In his introduction, anthologist Ron Sakolsky gives us a comprehensive overview of that first groups' development, from the Roosevelt University Anti-Poetry Club and RU Wobblies, the Rosemont's meeting with Andre Breton and their months-long participation in the Paris Surrealist Group, through the infamous Gallery Bugs Bunny and Gallery Black Swan on up to the present.
It's no wonder that it took so long for the first indigenous group in the US to arrive and start cleaning up the mess left by art critics and idiots.

 Georg Broe - Danish Surrealist
As a surrealist painter he was, however, also very productive.
Maybe his satirical drawing are his most well-known works; during a number of years they were published in the daily news paper Land og Folk, and many of them have been reprinted in book collections.
From the sixties and on he regularly exhibited his works at the well-known exhibition Copenhagen space Charlottenborg, usually as a member of the artists' groupings Rosa and The Surrealists.

 Surrealist Subversions -- Rants, Writings, and Images by the Surrealist Movement in the United States -- Ron Sakolsky ...
Taken as a whole, the Surrealist Movement’s impressive array of literary and artistic works along with imaginative and incisive political, social, and artistic commentaries represent a coherent and refreshing approach to critiquing conventional ways of looking at the world.
This consistently engaging collection includes writing from 1966 to the present and is taken from a variety of publications.
Those who think creative, imaginative, and intelligent social and intellectual criticism is a relic of the past should look no further than this exceptional new collection, which is as inspiring as it is entertaining, passionate and intelligent.

 Surrealist Writers
A member of the surrealist group from 1924 to 1929, he wrote one of the first surreal novels, Aurora (1927-8); also an ethnologist and anthropologist, co-editor with Bataille of Documents and with Sartre of Les Temps Modernes.
Paul Valery (1871-1945), last of the Symbolist poets, inspired the surrealists as much by his 20-year silence as by his poetry and the story Evening with Mr.
In addition to his surrealist work, Peret was a dedicated Communist for most of his life and was deported from Brazil for revolutionary activity.

 Breton—What is Surrealism?
The ill-sounding remarks, that are imputed to us, the so-called inconsiderate attacks, the insults, the quarrels, the scandals—all things that we are so much reproached with—turned up on the same road as the surrealist poems.
Interesting in a different way from the future of surrealist technics (theatrical, philosophical, scientific, critical) appears to me the application of surrealism to action.
At the limits, for many years past—or more exactly, since the conclusion of what one may term the purely intuitive epoch of surrealism (1919-25)—at the limits, I say, we have attempted to present interior reality and exterior reality as two elements in process of unification, or finally becoming one.

 History of the Surrealist Movement - Gérard Durozoi
In the end, History of the Surrealist Movement is more a reference work than a book to be read cover to cover.
Durozoi also considers the periphery of surrealism, looking at those artists who did not fully embrace it but who nevertheless were influenced by (or themselves influenced) the movement -- including, of course, Picasso.
In thinking of surrealism most people (certainly in the English-speaking world) focus on the visual arts: vivid, playful paintings -- by such artists as Dali, Magritte, and Max Ernst -- or perhaps Duchamp's readymades.

Surrealist Experiences:1001 Dawns, 221 Midnights by Penelope Rosemont (Black Swan Press, 2000) focuses on fortuitous encounters, including the author's adventures in the magnetic fields of "pure psychic automatism." The book collects articles and essays by Rosemont from surrealist journals throughout the world, plus several published now for the first time.
"Images of Desire" reveals new surrealist work in the realm of painting, drawing, collage, photography and other "visual arts." Every three months it will feature the work of a particular individual active in the Surrealist Movement.

 Joan Brossa, surrealist
A friend of the artist Joan Miro, Brossa founded a Surrealist magazine in 1948 with another Catalan artist, Antoni Tapies.
BARCELONA -- Joan Brossa, a versatile poet associated with some of the pillars of the Spanish Surrealist movement and best known for his "visual poems," died on Wednesday in a hospital here.
Brossa's poems, written in Catalan, were first published in 1951.

 Surrealist Manifesto 1924
The Surrealist Manifesto was written in 1924 by Andre Breton and then signed by such artists as Louis Aragon, Antonin Artaud, Jacques Baron, Joe Bousquet, J.-A. Boiffard, Jean Carrive, Rene Crevel, Robert Desnos, Paul Elaurd, Max Ernst, and Breton himself.
Such and such an image, by which he deems it opportune to indicate his progress and which may result, perhaps, in his receiving public acclaim, is to me, I must confess, a matter of complete indifference.
In Les Champs magnétiques, the first purely Surrealist work, this is the way in which the pages grouped together under the title Barrières must be conceived of -- pages wherein Soupault and I show ourselves to be impartial interlocutors.

 The Surrealist Art Movement: definition surrealist artists history examples
The surrealist movement of visual art and literature, flourishing in Europe between World Wars I and II.
Surrealism grew principally out of the earlier Dada movement, which before World War I produced works of anti-art that deliberately defied reason; but Surrealism emphasis was not on negation but on positive expression.
Continued thought processes and investigations into the mind produce today some of the best art ever seen.

 Amazon.com: Books: Surrealist Love Poems
In the hands of Surrealists, though, love poetry also includes gravediggers and murderers, dice and garbage, snakeskin purses and "the drunken kisses of cyclones." Surrealism, the movement founded in the 1920s on the ashes of Dada's nihilism, embraced absurdity, contradiction, and, to a supreme extent, passion and desire.
From André Breton's battle cry of "Mad Love" to the quiet lyricism of Robert Desnos, Surrealist writers and artists obsessively expressed the permutations of that fundamental human state, love, and they did so with the vocabulary of the natural and unnatural world, the explicit language of sex, and a great deal of humor.
City University of New York comparative literature professor Mary Ann Caws places poems by major surrealist writers like Andr& and Paul Eluard, along with the poetry of Picasso, Dal¡ and Frida Kahlo, side by side with 14 lushly printed and alluring b&w photos by the likes of Man Ray, Lee Miller and Claude Cahun.

 Surrealism-Surreal Art-Surreal Paintings and Prints by James Sebor
Sebor's surrealistic art reflects this as much as it reflects Breton or Dali.
Being a visual artist, and especially one giving visual form to that which is inherently a literary, intellectual, and speculative genre, one might expect Sebor's surrealistic paintings to be cool and dry.
He's also the Frenchman who invented surrealism back in 1924 with the publication of his Surrealist Manifesto.

 History of Surrealism
Michael S. Bell, a specialist in American Art, researched the surrealist phenomena while he was assistant curator at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
One group of artists, however, did not embrace this new art that threw away all which centuries of artists had learned and passed on about the craft of art.

 Robert Desnos: Unique French Surrealist Poet--Michael Benedikt, Intro. & Transl. Selected Key Poems w. 'Fantomas'
Breton speaks for most Surrealist poets when he says in his First Manifesto of Surrealism (1924) that he believes "in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, into a kind of absolute reality, a Surreality...".
of the Surrealist spirit in general--said he regretted his own and Surrealism's estrangement from the poet.
A key characteristic of Surrealism is that it seeks to bring together the everyday and the dreamlike, the commonplace and the magical--and after rubbing the two together, set poems afire by igniting them with the resulting sparks.

 Contemporary Surrealism and the surrealist movement @ www.surrealcoconut.com
It follows that surrealist art and poetry are only a subset of this challenge to conventionally defined miserabilist reality.
A simple web search using the keyword "surrealism" will yield a plethora of artists and whatnot who call themselves "surrealist." Upon examination of their work, it is found that they are only wanna-be clones of Salvador Dali, that their so-called "surrealist art" is actually "fantasy art," or just another method of escapism.
But the question of what surrealism really is still hasn't been answered here: while many folks use the words "surrealism" and "surreal" to vernacularly describe anything out of the ordinary, or something derived from Salvador Dali, the word is used here to carry the original meaning.

 Surrealist automatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Automatism in Surrealism has taken a many forms, from the automatic writing and drawing initially practiced by surrealists, to similar, or perhaps parallel phenomena, such as the non-idiomatic improvisation of free jazz [1].
In the 1940s and 1950s the Canadian group called Les Automatistes pursued creative work (chiefly painting) based on surrealist principles.
Automatism is a surrealist technique involving spontaneous writing, drawing, or the like practiced without conscious aesthetic or moral self-censorship.

 The Wager of a Militant Surrealist On Jan Svankmajer's The Death of Stalinism in Bohemia
It seems that Svankmajer intends to continue the fight against the absurdities of the human beings by means of his surrealist art.
In his opinion what matters in artistic creation is the internal strength of the Ôreserves' that the artist carries within himself; the means of self-expression are interchangeable.
As has just been suggested, the film-director regards the means of expression as secondary, but from the viewpoint of art, the expression represents everything.
