Quick draft on Sal Dali. Very cheesy essay. Please look over it if you find any mistakes- which I'm sure will be the case.
appreciate it very much :)
Mis obras misteriosas llenas de detalles son reconocibles por todas las partes. Aúnque la mayoria de mis pinturas son hechas despues de 1935, muchos me conocen como un gran surrealista. Soy un hombre tan especial que Andre Breton, un jefe de los surealistas, dijo que mi venida “marca la primera vez que las ventanas del mente estan completamente abiertas” (Cimabue 32). Me allegro de que el dijo esto.
Naci en Figueras, Espana. Tenia un hermano mayor pero murió antes de cumplir un ano. El también se llamaba Salvador y pienso que soy su reencarnacion. Tengo una hermanita y se llama Ana María. Mi querida madre, Felipa, murió de cancer cuando tenia deisiséis anos. Aunque su muerte dejo un gran dolor en mi alma, recuperé. No tenía una buena experiencia en mi Universidad y no quiero hablar sobre esto. Solo digo que mis maestros no estaban capaz de “examinarme.” Hablando de mi vida personal otra vez, conocí mi esposa Gala cuando tenía 25 anos. Ella es la luz de mi vida y la fuente de mi inspiracion. Teníamos un matrimonio maravilloso lleno de exitacion y passion.
Mis obras son dibujadas en un estilo artistic llamado- surrealismo. Te facinarán. A mí unas veces me sorprenden. Son raras y presentadas en maneras irracionales. Muestran paisajes de ensueño y revelan un mundo de fantasia. Era parte de un grupo surealismo, pero cuando mis colegas descubieron que soy un partidario de Francisco Franco, me expulsaron. Pero recupere suficientemente. (In fact) cuando lleguemos con mi esposa en los EEUU en 1942, llegue a ser muy rico. La gente alli aprecia mi maestría y personalidad.
Una de mis obras más extrañas es la “Presencia de Memoria.” La obra contiene tres relojes derritiendose para aparecer como un sueño. Pero hice esto porque quería mostrar mi pensamiento sobre el concepto del tiempo, que es un símbolo de memoria “deslizandose bajo la garganta de dios.” La creé empujando el realism en una manera rara. El árbol con el relok debe recordarles de la vida y la muerte. Es asomroso, ni yo entiendo suficientemente lo que significa esta obra.
NOT DONE.. needs to be elaborated more tho..
I've decided to talk about Surrealism in Greece which includes poets and artists like Embirikos, Engonoloboulos. However, I haven't got enough information on the topic and media technology is required.
In my humble opinion Surrealism as a movement did not glamorize drugs however many artists were inspired through drug intoxication.
A quote from Andre Breton, the founder of Surrealism, "Surrealism is the intoxication".
What do you think? Could i write a 2000word essay based on that quote? My books are inadequate. I need literary books on Surrealism and I'm struggling to find them coz it's all books on surrealist art and a definition of individual artistic pieces
Advice, direction would be gratefull

I was scalping Andre Breton
For money and intel
When I woke in an angry river
Clawing for dear life
On a limb
Called Obtuse
And I couldn't see it
It spoke to me
In a snapping of twigs
It said 'I have a family'
It said
'Eliot is Obtuse
And so are Irish Catholics
In their own way'
Obtuse paused, as if to rest
Then cracked a final wooden phrase
'And never forget it
The mirage
is
Obtuse--
it hides
the sand'
I nodded
Slackened grip
Back
Into angry current
And melted
I was scalping Andre Breton
For money and intel
When I woke in an angry river
Clawing for dear life
On a limb

Then cracked a final wooden phrase
'And never forget it

I nodded wordless
Slackened grip

"The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down into the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd."
What do you think this quote means in terms of performance art, political statement and reality/metaphysical?
I'm doing a project on surrealism, and I'm not having trouble finding the names of artists, but I only need to do three or four in my presentation and I can't figure out which are the most important ones.
I was going to do Dali, Magritte, maybe Andre Breton (because he founded the movement) and then one or two more.
possibilities might be Joan Miro, Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico, Man Ray... etc, or any of a dozen others.
please help if you know anything about art history or surrealism.
Thanks so much!
The French surrealist author André Breton wrote a novel in 1928 titled "Nadja."
I was just curious, how would Nadja be pronounced in French? I am woefully ignorant of the French pronunciation of the letter J.
I want to know what number Fleury wore while playing for Cape Breton. Also, does anyone know where I can get a Cape Breton hockey jersey with his name/number on it? Thanks! :)
To those that haven't read "Nadja" by André Breton, read it.
To those that have, how would you take the words of Nadja? Are they the wanton ramblings of a deranged mental patient? Or are they just the words of a surrealist writer - devoid of logical thought, yet sane?
This is both a survey question and a comments question - I am doing research on this book and would appreciate any input.
