Surrealism on the other hand was a positive expression of art and tapped into the untouched imagination of many artists. It was not a common expression of art and had heads turn all around the world. Surrealism not only taps into the artist's imagination but the viewer's imagination too, showing the power of the unconscious. Artists did not begin a piece of art with a pre-existing intention, instead it touched base with a part of their mind that was not typically shown appreciation. Through this, artists opened a gate way of showing unrealistic and dream like scenes that opened the eyes of their viewers. This is why I am so in love with this period of art. It portrayed artists' ability to put such unrelated objects into one picture and somehow have them make sense in an imaginative way. I for one enjoy going into a piece of art without a picturized motive but instead going with the flow.
I am going to post a picture of a surrealist type of painting I have done recently. It is just a bunch of colors with a central point in the bottom of sunglasses. I have also created a painting that expressing the song, "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. What makes it surrealist is how unpredictable it is. It is truly therapeutic for me to use the Surrealism that prevailed after that period of its beginning. I hope you all enjoy it!
One of the favorite surreal artists is Chloe Early! She is definitely worth checking out!
