Surrealism

Surrealism




  • Began in the early of 1920
  • Developed out of the Dada activities during World War I
  • Center of the movement was Paris
  • An art movement with featuring the element of surprise, unexpected 
  • Expose psychological truth by change ordinary objects of their normal significance
  • Evoke empathy from the viewer 
  • Create a compelling image that was beyond ordinary formal organization
Why I like Surrealism?
The mix and match between natural resources and human. 

Salvador Dali (1904-1989)
  • Dali was born in Catalonia, Spain 
  • Studied in Madrid at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts.

Principle of Design
1) Simplicity - The art movement is very simple as the subject matter tells us the meaning - easy to understand.  
2) Contrast & Dominance - Focus on one subject matter. Easy to difference between the subject matter with environment or background. 
3) Movement & Direction - eye direction flow from left to right. 
4) Unity - By adding the branch to support the subject matter, it looks more unity as the environment is belong with the subject matter.

Element of Design
1) Color - The color of subject matter is attractive than background.
