Surrealism

[…Olivier…de…Sagazan…Site…] [Fashion Photograph for Lord and Taylor] This photograph by George Platt Lynes features a dress by Madame Grès, who was known earlier as Alix.

The model raises a chiffon stole in a pose like that of a maenad, a votary of Dionysos. The classical converges with the surreal in the setting, an Yves Tanguy-like landscape with an attenuated and faintly distorted figure. The dramatic highlighting and moody silhouette give the dress the look of a sculptural relief. Like many of the draped silk-jersey gowns with which Grès is identified, this evening gown substantiates the designer's classicizing intentions and antique sources. Like the overgirdled apoptygma on Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Victory, her creation has a small peplum. Sit. Photographer Captures An Underwater Dance Of Colors. The shapes displayed in Luka Klikovac’s work look like colored smoke, or maybe strange deep-sea creatures, but they’re actually mixtures of colored and black liquids immersed in water.

Photographer Captures An Underwater Dance Of Colors

The Serbian photographer’s photo series is called Demersal and was based on the unique motions resulting from the combination of fluids. To create this psychedelic effect, the photographer used nothing but his camera and lights capable of showing the dance of fluid shapes captured by his lenses. No digital editing resources were used afterwards, so what you see in the images are actually the precise moments when the two elements were combined. Klikovac said that the goal of his work is to create images that allow people to escape from their daily routine and that his underwater shapes should be interpreted like the Rorschach inkblot test.

What do you see in them? VERVEmethod. Mocabri. Portfolio. Postmodernism and the Difference Between Art and Garbage at Toronto's Nuit Blanche. Nuit Blanche is an annual all-night art festival that transforms Toronto from a city where not much happens after two in the morning into a city where all sorts of things happen after two in the morning.

Postmodernism and the Difference Between Art and Garbage at Toronto's Nuit Blanche

Parking garages become art galleries, buildings become surfaces for projectors, and people who are normally at home sober are out on the streets getting wasted and filling themselves with street vendor hot dogs. We sent our intern Sam out to ask a bunch of people about postmodernism, and our other intern Brad to jot down to the important differences between garbage on the street and officially sanctioned festival art. Both of them were dicks about it. Watch Sam above and read Brad below. My old roommate told me that last year, she was looking at a broken, abandoned bike left in the street and a drunk guy next to her said, “Is this an art?”

We’re going to start off with a traditional example: framed artwork hanging up somewhere. Winner: Photo on a tree. Winner: Douglas Coupland. Shattered Glass Installation by Baptiste Debombourg. Using sheets of shattered laminate glass, French artist Baptiste Debombourg created a technically brilliant site-specific installation, called 'Aerial' at Brauweiler Abbey in Germany.

The work creates the illusion of water rushing in through the window and being frozen in a timeless fashion. via Colossal images © Baptiste Debombourg. Greno89 on deviantART.
