surrealism

Surrealism uses mondain objects images or figures to invoke deeper inner connections. While Warping and distorting or placing them out of original or familiar context. The thing that captures us about this art besides its stunning imagery is that no matter how far squde an object becomes it still hold the common familiarity of the object or figures original state. What particularly caught my eye was Duchamps, Little Girl at the Pino, along with, Sad Young man in a train because of his use of motion within the painting. He creates this elution my drawing a sort of path that the figures are moving through. Almost like drawing motion and movement on a page, a series of paintings on a signal canvas. When your eye moves from one side of the page to the next the elution of motion can easially be seen. To see the elution not only of the 3rd demention not to mention the elution of motion is very exciting for me as an animator.
