Explain the two types of main Surrealism:
(Automatically without thought and familiar objects/ realistic setting with impossible dream like situations).]]> 2018-02-15 04:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/DarcyScollen/td1fs38iadrc/wish/231782697 DarcyScollen https://padlet.com/DarcyScollen/td1fs38iadrc/wish/231782739 1. The first artist who created Surrealism was Anton Brenton defined Surrealism as "psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express - verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner - the actual functioning of thought." What Breton is proposing is that artists bypass reason and rationality by accessing their unconscious mind. In practice, these techniques became known as automatism or automatic writing, which allowed artists to forgo conscious thought and embrace chance when creating art.

2. There was a need for Surrealism because there needed to be something fresh and new as everything was being recycled- and art had became normalized and only beautiful. The people thought it was weird and since it wasn't normal people judged it, because change is uncomfortable and uneasy.

What is my reaction to historic realism? What was the point and how were the artists representing the new thought processes/ experiences?

3. My reaction to some of the art is that it can be kind of full on at some times, for example Salvador Dali's The persistence of memory can be intimidating when your only young. Artists were experimenting with many different ideas and different forms reality.
