Speaking of the "esoteric" painting, before talking about the surrealist, it is essential to mention Giorgio de Chirico, who called his painting "metaphysical".
You will not want to repeat it - a great, very great artist - everybody knows it. But with his work involves a lot of strange, inexplicable - or at least, unexplained - phenomena.
One case: shortly before the First World War, he painted a portrait of Guillaume Apollinaire's with a wound on his temple. A few months later Apollinaire was called, went to the front and soon received a wound in his temple, exactly where it was wound on the portrait of de Chirico (Apollinaire until the end of life raged for a de Chirico).
After the formation of the group, the Surrealists tried hard to lure him, but de Chirico, a confirmed loner and a little (or even not so little) megaloman, resolutely refused, and he belonged to several surrealist derisively and condescendingly.
