Rene Magritte, The Lovers.In high school I saw this painting and was inspired to write a poem. What do you think of the painting?
Merriam Webster dictionary definition of Surrealism: the principles, ideals, or practice of producing fantastic or incongruous imagery or effects in art, literature, film, or theater by means of unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations

Below is the surrealist painting, Persistence of Time by Salvador Dali. Have you seen this painting before? Click on it for the full painting. It looks like a scene Gregor Samsa might wake up to, if he hadn't already turned into a bug!
Also by Kahlo, The Two Fridas. Click on image for full painting.
THE SURREAL PAINTING I THINK IS A VERY FASCINATING PICTURE GETS ME WONDER WHAT IT MEANS, WHAT WAS THE ARTIST FEELING OR THINKING?
ReplyDeleteThe painting of the surreal reminds me of a moviie... for example in Batman The Dark Night. The Water Grave by Frida seems that it gave her bad situations that she experienced in her life.

The painting titled the lovers is a little creepy. It like the couples last kiss being held hostage before being killed by their gunman.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a painting that means something. The lovers are covering up something from the other or never showed their true selves.
