    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.

    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
      @meower808 2 роки тому +5

      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.

    • @gavinreid2741

The idea of time was being upended and questioned it was no long a fixed, solid, mechanistic thing. Hence the melting clocks.

      Do you have any relevant information of his influence in surrealism or did any of what I've told make sense?
      Sorry for my bad English. Thank you for answering.. Blessings from México.

    I guess Freud was too analytical to appreciate the wild abandon of thoughts made into art.

    the lobster telephone....well shellfish are forbidden in traditional Jewish dietary laws. You see this referenced in 'Seinfeld'. A character eats lobster and some misfortune befalls. Perhaps a lobster and a telephone together is about gossiping. I don't know.
