Slide1

Surrealism, Magritte, and Time Transfixed

Zak Rubio

Slide2

Background

Surrealism:

Art movement that succeeded Dada and incorporated the improvisational nature of its predecessor into its exploration of the ways to expose in art the world of dreams and the unconscious.

Famous Surrealists: Frida Kahlo, Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali

Slide3

Types of Surrealism

Biomorphic Surrealism

Naturalistic Surrealism

In Biomorphic Surrealism, automatism predominated. Automatism is the unconscious control of the creation of art.

In Naturalistic Surrealism, scenes seem to have metamorphosed into a dream or nightmare.

Joan Miro

Rene Magritte

Title: Philosopher’s Conquest

Artist:

Girogio De ChiricoCountry: ItalyStyle: SurrealismMedium: Oil on Canvas

Content: An Italian piazza containing artichokes, cannon, cannonballs, clock, pillar, train, ship, and a monumental brick tower standing in the back

Slide8

Similarities

Share the theme of time with the clock

The mystery of the train is prevalent in both paintings

Both create mystery through odd placement of weird objects

Slide9

Title: Son of Man

Artist: MagritteCountry: FranceMedium: Oil On Canvas

Content: Self portrait of Magritte with green apple and branch in front of his face

Even in a simple portrait, Magritte places an odd object next to his face. It provokes questions and mysteries about the hidden and visible.

Because the apple is there (the visible), we want to find out what his face looks like (the hidden).
