Surrealism........................This Is Not A Pipes

One from the archives.

SURREALISM: A Magritte Mash-up

So...I decided to cut up and rearrange some of the master's work. If you want to see the three pieces by Magritte that I used look these up:

"The Portrait" 1935

"Melusine" 1952

Drawing for "Month of Grape Gatherings" 1959

Surrealism in the Park

SURREALISM on the LANDSCAPE

If you look real close, to the right of the horse tail, you will see the image of a fish head with an eye seeming to be breaking out of the ground as I used a piece of an Odilon Redon painting for the sky/land portion of the collage!

Surreal Sausages.

 I looked back at the surrealists for inspiration..my favourite were the simple ones such as an apple in front of a face…I went for “Frankfurter salad” a strange recipe in itself.

I also found an accidental one in a chopped up book…glued as found.

THEME: Surrealism or the Irrational Juxtaposition of Images

I just picked up a wonderful catalogue of a show of the works of Rene Magritte (Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris February 11-June 9 2003) and I am feeling inspired. Have fun.
