SURREALISm
Surrealism is an avant-garde artistic and literary movement of the twentieth century, born in the 1920s in Paris as an evolution of Dadaism and which involved all the arts, touching literature, painting and cinema; in 1924 the first manifesto was written.
It wants to express a superior reality, made up of the irrational and dreams, to reveal the deepest aspects of the psyche. Surrealism is therefore a psychic automatism, or that process in which the unconscious, that part of us that emerges during dreams, also emerges when we are awake and allows us to associate free words, thoughts and images without inhibitory brakes and preordained purposes.
Salvador Dalì
Is one of the most important and eccentric figures in art history, and is known worldwide for his surrealist works. Known above all for his approach to surrealism with the paranoid-critical method.His artistic production, moreover, is not limited only to the creation of paintings, but, on the contrary, also ranges in the field of cinema.
In addition to his artistic skills, he is also known for his eccentric personality and for his way of dressing and styling: even today his mustache are his particular mark and recognition.
La persistenza della memoria
"The work shows the landscape of Port Lligat during sunrise, dominated by a sky of yellow and celestial shades. The landscape is desert and devoid of vegetation, the only thing we notice are three clocks with a liquefied consistency.
In the left part of the painting we notice a parallelepiped with a clock on it: a fly has settled on it, which creates a long shadow towards twelve, the lower half hangs gently.
Next we notice the only solid orange clock, with some swarming black ants, that seem to devour it, almost to indicate the cancellation of a chronological time. Since time is elusive, it cannot be punctuated by a physical object like a clock.
In the back edge of the parallelepiped we notice a slender olive trunk that rises towards the sky, on the only branch it supports a clock that hangs down. The olive trunk, symbol of peace and prosperity, is bare and fruitless here: this therefore contributes to give an air of desolation.
Rene Magritte
Is considered one of the greatest exponents of Surrealism, so much so as to be considered one of the fathers of the surrealist movement.
Despite the representation of seemingly realistic subjects, Magritte’s greatness lies in the transformation of everyday life into illusion and dreams, finding unusual meanings and declaring war open to reason. Magritte’s works therefore go beyond the rational, crossing the threshold of the ordinary in a humorous key.
All of Magritte’s works therefore focus on the contrast between reality and fiction, between rational and irrational, between realistic representation and dreamlike representation, between ordinary and mystery.
The theme of lovers is a recurring theme in the painting of the Belgian artist, who in the twenties and thirties chooses several times as a subject a couple of man and woman placed next to each other.
The protagonist, in the center of the work, is a couple of lovers depicted with their heads wrapped in a white cloth, in the act of kissing. A kiss that, however, arouses conflicting emotions precisely because of the cloth that prevents the two protagonists to see each other and communicate.
With the faces hidden by the veil, the kiss of the two lovers is an exchange of a silent feeling, which is expressed through a language in which passion is the only agent force. The meanings of the work are different and this is the artist’s intention: to invite the observer to make hypotheses, to look for meanings in order to never reach a final destination
