The Surrealist movement was founded in the 1920's in Paris by a small group of writers and artists who experimented with a new method of transmitting the unbridled imagination of the subconscious. Surrealism in art was an international intellectual movement. Artists painted illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and thus considered his work an expression of philosophical movement.

Surrealism was based on the theory of Freud, which includes the Association, with the help of them and carried out the transition from the world of consciousness into the subconscious. Nevertheless, pictures in style surrealism are significant differences depending on the author. Given, for example, with photographic accuracy trying to give every detail of his work, which often resembles a nightmare.

Max Ernst wrote his paintings as if automatically, completely cutting off the mind. He recreated some random images, mainly creating the impression of a kind of abstraction. But the Jean Miro, another artist that supported surrealism, the painting was distinguished not only for its diversity, but the cheerfulness of the colors.

Two currents merged together, or Methods of painting

surrealism in the arts

The Special distribution surrealism received during the First and Second world wars. Then his followers emigrated to different countries and appeared not only in Europe but in the United States. Of great importance in the formation of surrealism is the period of Dadaism, which emerged in Zurich in 1916. The Dadaists were the first to use the method of spraying paints on the host, giving them the opportunity to spread a chaotic way. This turned out a variety of configuration, which expressed the artist's thoughts.

And in the 1920s the Dadaists Surrealists are combined into a single stream. But a famous wizard, which he painted in the style of surrealism, did not want to use primitive methods of expression in his works. They still prefer to achieve this inner state, when there is complete shutdown of the mind, something like self-hypnosis. And it is during these periods to create their masterpieces. The same methods are used by the famous artist Salvador Dali, who preferred to paint immediately after sleep, when the brain is not yet freed from the night's experiences. And often woke up in the middle of the night to create another masterpiece.

Surrealism: paintings of Salvador

There was a topic that would have affected the art of Dali. This atomic bomb, and the civil war, science, art, and even ordinary cooking. And almost all of it turned into something unthinkable, which did not fit in the understanding of any sane person.

modern surrealism

Many of the works of Salvador combining the images completely unrelated, this story cloth was more like the paranoid phenomenon. For example, the painting "the Endless Enigma" and "the Gala Castle in Púbol". However, it should be noted that any Given work has a nice combination of shades and colors.

The Main goal of surrealism

Create a bizarre image that does not meet generally accepted standards and was the main goal, which welcomed surrealism. Paintings in this style, was to provide the spectators surreal images. How the author sees a particular object in a supernatural reality, not in everyday life.

Modern surrealism still catches the views of many viewers for its unusual and colorful images. For over half a century there is this style in the art world, and artists are still trying to create more of the supernatural images which pay special attentionfans of this style.
