Surrealism A natural result of Freuds work exploring
- Slides: 26
Surrealism A “natural” result of Freud’s work exploring the unconscious and dreams. A “natural” progression from Symbolism—Moreau and Munch—even earlier from our friend, Fuseli—The Nightmare. And perhaps…even Bosch…

Symbolism According to Stokstad, Symbolism is an intellectual movement in late-nineteenth-century art and literature. Symbolism seeks a deeper and more mysterious reality than the one we encounter in everyday life. Symbolism originated in France but had a profound impact in the art of other European countries, where it often merged with expressionist tendencies. Artists transformed appearances in order to give pictorial form to psychic experiences, and they often compared their works to dreams.

Surrealism Is about a fascination with dreams and mystery and melancholy and fear. Surrealist images are constructed from the contradiction between reality and the irrational but seemingly possible. Even nightmarish images have an element of “the possible” about them. This quality of realism makes surrealist images compelling and, at times, extremely disturbing.

Rene Magritte The Treachery of Images 1928 -1929 “It is a picture of a pipe, but as a picture, an image, its reality is different from a pipe’s” (Hamilton, 409).
Rene Magritte Not to be Reproduced (Portrait of Edward James) 1937 In his work Magritte patiently insists that similarity does not imply identity and that relations between objects, their images, and their names need not conform to the laws of common sense causality. By refusing to mistake life for art, or art for nature, he contradicted nature with deadpan naturalism and affirmed the essential character of the work of art as superior to illusion. His visual logic is irrefutable and absurd.
