| "External commentary has disproportionately determined the popular conception of the Surrealist movement. Interpretation takes the place of experience, and allegedly disinterested discussion is given more weight than the movement's continuing discourse. Bound and gagged, its naked throat is forever on the block. Reduced from a distance to a series of totems, André Breton and the Surrealist Movement are at even greater risk of being seen as nothing but chapters in art history and "rooms" in government-endowed collections. All those who want to prevent this kind of entombment should explore the great, slow-beating heart of Surrealism and Painting on their own, and let Surrealism speak for itself." Jen Besemer Surrealizations is a platform for uninhibited imaginative artists as well as a resource for the student of surrealism. If you consider your art (all forms) to be surreal or in the spirit of surrealism, submit your site for review and possible inclusion. |
