Surrealist Society

The hand-colored Salvador Dali etching, "Presenting the Flower", hangs on the wall just three feet from where I sit at my computer.

I used to have a poster of "The Hallucinogenic Torreador" in my office.

I looked up "The Hallucinogenic Torreador" online and immediately recognized it as one of the paintings in the Dali Museum in Sarasota, FL.  I took my niece and nephew there in 1992.  They were familiar with the general works on exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum from many visits there, but I think children are more "entertained" by such vivid Surrealism as produced by Dali.

I love Dorothea Tanning's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. 

Yes! One of my favorite artists and favorite pieces.

Thank you Melanie for the wonderful trio of surrealism! Really great stuff & I love the envelope. It really made my day when I opened my mailbox : )  

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.

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!

Thanks for your great collages Melanie, inspiring as always. They belong in this group...

My poetry has been called surrealist. I don't have access to the PDFs anymore since I got locked out of my old Google account, but I sent digital copies to several people via postcards with affixed microSD cards, and some of it is available on the web for free just search Maria Morisot.

Season's Greetings¡

I received these wonderful images from Melanie Reed yesterday. I always love her titles for them.

And all in this embellished envelope!

Thank you Melanie!

Merci Zack pour pour la carte postale surréaliste.

"Salvadore Dali squeezed from a toothpaste tube" is name of the starryAI creation I just posted.

"Stand and Deliver" is the collage I just posted below. (More Dadaist than Surrealist, but hopefully close enough!)

This came in today. Thank you Melanie Reed! 

Right “Spin Art” left “Look Out Below!”. Two collages and envelope by Melanie Reed. Thank you!
