Surrealism and the Surrealists

[Meister]

Сообщение от Art-lover

Surrealism was not.
Almost all the artists who call themselves surrealists - not Surrealists.
Almost all of these surrealists were either unaware that they surrealists, or refused to consider themselves surrealists, or break with him.

Who then is a true surrealist, and who is not?

In my opinion, gentlemen, you are now, as in the topic about de Chirico, and seeks the truth, wherever it is absent. You say that only de Chirico was a true surrealist, or, say, protosyurrealistom. At the same time members of the "Gang Breton" You (Art-lover, to you, this ratio has not) call a dependent individuals who were trying to invent something new, riding on other people's ideas .. First of all, it was not nuzhzhno. They set themselves the global challenge: osuschestveit a revolution in consciousness, to spread its influence on all kinds of creative activity and thinking. Liana, in one of his posts in the topic about de Chirico has the quote: "Playing the dream, the current artists as wrong as they are wrong, depicting the machine in 1916," "Art of the Impressionists, devoid of mystery, was boring; today's painting is disappointing, because it makes all the secrets to the surface. "And what are they wrong? take the same tango or Delvaux, do their work did not reflect the premise of surrealism - the art of ultimate reality? mysterious world Delvaux, with its naked girls, it was unclear who had taken from the ordinary with the first sight space. Sculptable iridescent forms Tanguy-like landscape unknown planet ... etc. This new world vision, which could exist or may exist but in a different space, time, etc. It is mysterious and unusual and can easily dream about any of us. If you paintings of Dali, Magritte, Dominguez denied puzzles, then I am sorry ...
