About
Suprarealism-surrealism
Surrealism is an artistic movement of the twentieth century,
comprising all the processes of creation and expression
(painting, drawing, music, cinema, literature ...) using all the psychic forces
(automatism, dream, unconscious) released from reason control and fighting against the values received.
In visual perception, juxtaposition is the absence of relationships between details ;
syncretism is a vision of the whole which creates a vague but global scheme,
supplanting the details.
Surrealism was a cultural movement that developed in Europe after the First World War and was largely influenced by Dada.
The creative process is different.
Surrealist
works arise spontaneously. Elements are placed as if by magic, it's fun.
Beauty does not count, time stands still.
A personal way is put forward which is the only conscious step. It is consciously wanted. Thus, the artist’s subsequent paintings continue to follow this approach,
since quantity must be produced.
Suprarealist
works mature slowly.
First the idea is there as if it had never been absent.
Then, the approach consists in finding the pictorial means to make it live.
At this point, the artist is visionary. He sees by closing his eyes.
He does not seek inspiration from a model, moreover he rarely uses it.
Compared to the Old Masters, his creations are detached from the context of reality. It is also the essential difference between suprarealism and hyperrealism.
The internalized process of its creation gratifies him with a diverse palette of nuances and feelings. These are often the main themes of life, love and death.
He naturally pursues the result closest to reality,
that of his visions, truer than what we see with open eyes.
About
Events, as we know them, represent the preface to what will happen later: an upheaval of common belief, established values and another way of thinking.
This will open a broad horizon to this art which has long been ignored and ignored, because of artificial speculation. The awareness of our essential world will appear on the world stage, apart from speculative interests
in the race for power and possession.
In this context, suprarealism will take its legitimate place alongside surrealism: the phantasmagoric
and the suprareal will be complementary.
It is a very powerful work by Fernandez Ortega. No model can be used for the poses of this man riding this woman. It is a pure unique creation.
Famous painters
Bacon
Francis Bacon said : "The smell of human blood does not leave my eyes". He painted "contorted faces of butchered and lacerated mutilated bodies".
“As for Lucian Freud, he will use the scalpel, with his brushes, the flesh of his models. Obese bodies, lascivious and ambiguous poses, decomposed carnations present the human in his fragile and terrible reality. "
They will become the two greatest British figurative artists and receive wide international recognition. The power and the violence of their art make us think of Baudelaire's verse: “The flesh is sad, alas! "
However, the broken down carnations do not represent the reality of the human being, because it is not made only of carnations. He is naturally attracted to the harmony and beauty that gives him psychic balance.
Do you think that humanity and all that we see around us is made of decomposed skin tones? In art today Beauty is taboo, she has no say. Yet she is the bearer of love, but love has been replaced by the perversity of sex without love. Will official art be able to remove the natural and universal bonds of love?
In the difference between suprarealism and surrealism it is necessary to evoke the pictorial quality, the mastery of the trade. The possession of professional qualities opens the possibility of creative freedom in the expression of the artist's feelings. If there is a model, he does not limit it in his movements and expressions of which he is capable.
The creation is entirely dedicated to the artist. He is alone on stage,
alone to take charge of the result of his work.
Technical quality is often present among surrealists, such as Magritte. Yet he is not suprarealistic. He often hides the face of his model to take into consideration only the dressed body. Often an apple, hat, or dove is placed in front of the face. Instead of the face, a woman's sexual organs appear. The meaning escapes us. We detect a desire not to express more than physical appearance.
