[Art-lover]

Сообщение от Meister

although our fan art and denies surrealism, as the direction))

As direction of painting, Meister.

Surrealism is neither an aesthetic school, or plastic formula

- this is from the "Encyclopedic Dictionary of Painting", edited by the Director of the Louvre and the chief curator of painting of the Louvre. Authors of the publication - the biggest critics of Europe. Good to be a master, to boldly speak out against the masters of professional leagues, and we are the lovers, remains respectfully listen to them:

"Surrealistic painting" is not a direction in the sense of something unified, whole. This phrase is used in a collective sense - to denote the set of paintings "surrealist" (the last word needs to be clarified, this was already discussed).
Surrealists, followed exactly the aesthetic premisses of surrealism, did not create any significant works of art. Creation of any outstanding Surrealist always somehow go beyond the doctrinal premise of surrealism.

Сообщение от Munch

It is guessed the motive of "march", which causes direct association with the "Sacred Grove" (1882) Arnold Bocklin. If Beklin - a procession to the sacred fire souls in the netherworld realm, the work of Sage meaning reduced, screened by the fact that the procession begins and ends outside the image.

Munch, and you do not think that the work of Sage motif of the meeting, but did not march?
Judging from the folds of her robes, the figures facing each other.
