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 IX"No great artist ever sees things as they really are. 
If he did, he would cease to be an artist." -- Oscar Wilde
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 







Please go show love to these amazing artists :heart:

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

The Surrealist X

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








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

The Surrealist XII"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." -- Thomas Merton

exams passed... I was on carneval in Rijeka. Now, I'm in Zadar finally. :)
The Surrealist V

"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

Features No 87-Habituated to the pain...Distorted images,
faces, in despair,
and I grow used to it,
habituated to the pain.
But will we bow
to what should not be,
what cannot be?
This question hovers,
unanswered,
as history bleeds out
upon an ancient hill;
it soaks the sacred earth.

CR Newsletter: November/December 2012An Introduction
Hallo, and welcome to the last Abstract & Surreal Photography missive for 2012, written for the bi-monthly Community Relations newsletter. Here you'll find relevant information from the last two months in Abstract & Surreal art, although for this edition it's just the last nineteen days! As this is my first truncated newsletter, the contents are somewhat haphazard: I promise I'll have something more concrete together for the next edition.
Instead, I shall formally introduce myself. My name is Darren - although most people call me D - and I'm the new Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal photography. I am glad to represent the community here on deviantART, and I hope that the next twelve months are productive for everyone. I will also take this opportunity to formally thank `DpressedSoul for his work in this position over the last year, and for his support since. I hope I can maintain the high standard that he set through
