Surrealist Society

Information

I was turned on to Dali and Max Ernst in my 20s and that was it for me. Ever since, I’ve been a committed Surrealism fan and Surrealist artist. Though Surrealism covers a wide range of media, tones and styles, it has an unmistakable vibe for those who resonate with it. Dark, playful, wise, sad, mystifying, transcendent or heartbreakingly beautiful, Surrealism taps into our dreams and our buried feelings, reminding us of the strange complexity of what it means to be human. Please share your favorite Surrealist art and Surrealist mail art!

Comment by Melanie Reed on January 15, 2021 at 9:20pm: I myself feel a get a definite Surrealist energy from Mel Anie's repurposings of different combinations of words and images. New juxtapositions are part and parcel of the Surrealist vision. Thanks, Mel Anie!

Comment by Mel Anie on January 15, 2021 at 9:02pm: I mix my -isms up a lot and some of them I don't even know exist. So whether this fits here or not, I don't know. But, Melanie Reed sent me some word cards. I had a little play; a bit of a mixed variety - and I repurposed the envelope that Melanie sent them in.

PS. I have a large print of the Toreador, from St Petersburg.
