The Surrealist VI"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute 
whatever for the force and beauty of its process." -- Max Eastman
Question For You: What does Surrealism mean to you?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 







The Surrealist"Surrealism is embedded in the everyday, in the daily experience." - Katharine Conley
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
  








The Surrealist XI“Art is the most intense mode of individualism 
that the world has known.” --  Oscar Wilde
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________






The Surrealist II"Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realized that the
imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality." - John Lennon
A surrealist generates creative works that exposes the inner mind in bizarre and symbolic ways. 
Surrealist art depicts dream imagery and archetypal symbols derived from the unconscious. 
The surrealist employs collage aesthetics as a way to tap into the subconscious.

The Surrealist XVI

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,

and paints his own nature into his pictures." -  Henry Ward Beecher

The Surrealist X

"Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist."-- Franz Liszt

"To fall in the void as I fell: none of you knows what that means… I went down into the void, to the most absolute bottom conceivable, and once there I saw that the extreme limit must have been much, much farther below, very remote, and I went on falling, to reach it."
― Italo Calvino, Cosmicomics

“..if everything was still beneath the moon..”:music: http://youtu.be/qhux77ihl2E :music:
Time does not stand still, even though some moments make it seem so;
they never last. Life continues to be hectic and stressful and once again
I've fallen behind-er. Some day I will catch up, but not soon enough. I
will be out of town and out of touch for the next few days, so here is a
delicious display of beautiful, inspiring, wondrous and loved personal
favorites.
Deepest thanks to all my friends, watchers and random visitors.
Be well and never forget to seize the moment. See you all next week.

The Surrealist V

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 27, 2012, 10:01 PM


"I guess surrealism has a draw for me because it's an unknown world. 

It's a world of subconscious. Some things you can't really get your hands on very easily. 

Things that are kind of nebulous and they feel like the're not completely formed. 

You have to feel your way through that." -- Gotye
