  • You've probably heard of Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, or Frida Kahlo. These surrealist artists created many amazing artworks. But do you know about the philosophy behind the movement? What does Freud have to do with Surrealism? Why did Dali show us his dreams and nightmares? And why did Magritte paint an image of “raining men”? Let’s find out in this story!

    part of why we got so much weird art around that time is because until recently (like the last century) art had nothing to do with self expression of the individual artist. for ages and ages to be a painter was pretty exclusively a job of working for the elite and for the church doing portraiture and iconography. also, art was really narrowly viewed as “good” if and only if a painter could master representational styles- which became obsolete as soon as we got the camera. it was actually the camera which freed painters to begin exploring art as an exercise in the subconscious and absurd instead of forever striving for realism.

      Surrealism art is striking - be stunning. It's not to be explained . The Dreams can be understanded but not totally . The surrealist artist don''t want to know what his surrealist paint means. The Dreams and the surrealist art are abstractions - they are nothing or can be what you want. Love it and Love the life .

    Dali didn’t care or know anything about Freud. His scientific interests were with Einstein, Heisenberg, atomic structures, golden ratio, etc. Surrealism itself started as a political and philosophical movement. It aligned with communism and even anarchism and was a direct continuation of the Dada movement before it.

    • @meower808
      @meower808 2 года назад +4

      I understand where you're coming from, but it seems you may be basing this assumption off of Dali's later work. Though later in his career he did turn towards an interest with atomic structure, early on he was what one might consider a Freud fanboy. Not only did he *know* of Freud, he was fascinated by his theories, met him, and even drew him.

    • @gavinreid2741

    I like the video, but I think it's too short.

    It seems that the Austrian founder of psychoanalysis with a household name failed to get the gist of Surrealism because
    he wouldn't go the extra mile to ensure the destruction of stereotype.
    I feel so sorry for him. He should've tried a little bit more to learn more about Surrealists and their works , while living in Vienna and
    loving Freudianism. Well, he must've been super busy. Too busy to do that, probably..
    Maybe he would say to me, " hey, since when did you live, love and learn?" 😆

    I guess Freud was too analytical to appreciate the wild abandon of thoughts made into art.

    the lobster telephone....well shellfish are forbidden in traditional Jewish dietary laws. You see this referenced in 'Seinfeld'. A character eats lobster and some misfortune befalls. Perhaps a lobster and a telephone together is about gossiping. I don't know.
