SURREALISM OR IS IT

        Surrealism is an art form that has always intrigued me, although in the early years it was a bit confusing.  I knew that it was a form of abstract art but it was sometimes bizarre, perverted and even disgusting.  But it is art, and sometimes you don't have to like the content to appreciate the message.

        So where did it come from and who really started it.  Well it began in France in the 1920's as a literary expression and I guess you could say it was an anti establishment movement.

        The artists of the day expressed their revolutionary ideas and thoughts on canvas.  When one experiences a surreal piece of art, it seams that instead of painting a real scene, the artist is interpreting a dream.

        Other modern day artists will use surrealism to get a point across or even use it as a comical message. 

        Whatever your opinion of surrealism, it is art and it is to be enjoyed, and I generally do.
