Surrealism Automatic translate

One of the directions of modernism is called surrealism (from the French surrealisme), and it developed in the twenties of the last century in France. According to surrealist artists, the energy of each creator begins in the deepest areas of the subconscious, manifested during a painful delusional state, ordinary sleep, hypnosis or sudden creative insights.

Surrealism had two directions of development. The followers of the first of them (Max Ernst, Miro, A. Mason) sought to introduce an unconscious beginning into the creative process, arbitrary images prevailing in their paintings, often turning into abstract forms. The second direction was based on the absolute accuracy of the image of unreal images arising in the subconscious.

Salvador Dali headed this direction. His paintings are academically correct in terms of how to convey perspective and chiaroscuro, illusory images are written so carefully that the viewer unwittingly succumbs to their persuasiveness, is drawn into a complex labyrinth of riddles and deceptions: it would seem that completely incompatible objects are twisted and twisted, solid ones spread out, dense become transparent, massive - weightless.

Surrealistic painting is an absurd fantasy, illogism of situations, incredible combinations of different forms and visual instability of all images. The reality depicted on the canvases of surrealist artists does not reflect reality. Sometimes this was brought to the point that fictional images became pathologically repulsive, and the style of the paintings resembled unreasonable eclecticism and even kitsch. There were also interesting findings, for example visual illusions, which made it possible to make out two completely different images in the same picture, depending on the angle of view.
