Surreal Storytelling Illustrations by Andrew Ferez Moscow-based Russian illustrator Andrew Ferez, aka 25kartinok, creates surreal scenes, each with their own fantastical narratives, that seamlessly merge various opposing elements. Digitally drawing his elaborate renderings, Ferez's work has a dark, fantasy-driven appeal. The digital artist manages to incorporate the human face into several areas of his works in creative ways. Whether multiple faces are fused with a crumbling city, facial features are protruding from urban architecture, or a woman's contemplative expression is formed out of the branches and leaves of a golden tree, Ferez does a brilliant job of fusing two normally separate entities.

The Automatic Message The Automatic Message (1933) (Le Message Automatique) was one of André Breton's significant theoretical works about automatism. The essay was first published in the magazine Minotaure, No. 3-4, (Paris) 1933. In 1997 it became the title of a compilation of surrealist writing of André Breton, Paul Éluard and Philippe Soupault, amongst others. Breton’s prefatory essay The Automatic Message relates the technique to the underlying concepts and aesthetic of surrealism. The Magnetic Fields (Les Champs Magnétiques) (1919) by Breton and Soupault, was the first work of literary surrealism and one of the foundations of modern European thought and writing. The Immaculate Conception (1930) traces the interior and exterior life of man from Conception and Intra-Uterine Life to Death and The Original Judgement, and includes a section with a series of “simulations” of various types of mental instability.

Surrealism Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself and/or an idea/concept.[1] Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a revolutionary movement. Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities during World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. Founding of the movement[edit] Surrealist Manifesto[edit] Expansion[edit]
Positivism Positivism is the philosophy of science that information derived from logical and mathematical treatments and reports of sensory experience is the exclusive source of all authoritative knowledge,[1] and that there is valid knowledge (truth) only in this derived knowledge.[2] Verified data received from the senses are known as empirical evidence.[1] Positivism holds that society, like the physical world, operates according to general laws. Introspective and intuitive knowledge is rejected, as is metaphysics and theology. Although the positivist approach has been a recurrent theme in the history of western thought,[3] the modern sense of the approach was developed by the philosopher Auguste Comte in the early 19th century.[4] Comte argued that, much as the physical world operates according to gravity and other absolute laws, so does society.[5] Etymology[edit] Overview[edit] Antecedents[edit] Auguste Comte[edit] Antipositivism[edit] Main article: antipositivism In historiography[edit]
Diego Rivera Signed: André Breton and Diego Rivera Source: greg adargo kga1917@msn.com;HTMLMarkup: Nate Schmolze & David Walters for marxists.org, 2001. It is believed that the Manifesto was written by Trotsky and André Breton, although it was signed by Rivera and Breton. We can say without exaggeration that never has civilization been menaced so seriously as today. In so far as it originates with an individual, in so far as it brings into play subjective talents to create something which brings about an objective enriching of culture, any philosophical, sociological, scientific or artistic discovery seems to be the fruit of a precious chance; that is to say, the manifestation, more or less spontaneous, of necessity. In the contemporary world we must recognize the ever more widespread destruction of those conditions under which intellectual creation is possible. It goes without saying that we do not identify ourselves with the currently fashionable catchword, ‘Neither fascism nor communism!’

Kabullenmeye dayalı hükümet[değiştir | kaynağı değiştir] Locke, bütün eserlerinde gelenek ve otoritenin her çeşidinden kurtulmak gerektiğini, insan hayatına ancak aklın kılavuzluk edebileceğini ileri sürer. Locke için dünya ile ilişiği kesmek ve deneyim sayesinde kişi bir şeyler öğrenebilir. İnsan hakları Locke'a göre yaşam, hürriyet ve mülkiyet olarak özetlenebilir.

Paul Éluard Paul Éluard (French pronunciation: [elɥar]), born Eugène Émile Paul Grindel ([ɡʁɛ̃dɛl]; 14 December 1895 – 26 November 1952), was a French poet who was one of the founders of the surrealist movement. Biography[edit] Éluard was born in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, the son of Clément Grindel and wife Jeanne Cousin. At age 16 he contracted tuberculosis and interrupted his studies. He met Gala, born Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, whom he married in 1917, in the Swiss sanatorium of Davos. After a marital crisis, he traveled, returning to France in 1924. In 1934, he married Nusch (Maria Benz), a model who was considered somewhat of a mascot of the surrealist movement, whom Éluard had met through his friends Man Ray and Pablo Picasso. He joined the French Communist Party in 1942,[1] which led to his break from the Surrealists[citation needed], and he later eulogised Joseph Stalin in his political writings.

Les Champs Magnétiques For the American band led by Stephin Merritt, see The Magnetic Fields. Les Champs Magnétiques (The Magnetic Fields) is a book by André Breton and Philippe Soupault. It is famed as the first work of literary Surrealism. Published in 1920, the authors used a surrealist automatic writing technique. The book is considered Surrealist, rather than Dadaist, because it attempts to create something new rather than react to an existing work. Les Champs Magnetiques is characterised by rich textured language that often seems to border on the nonsensical. A typical paragraph in (an English-language version of) Les Champs Magnetiques is: It was the end of sorrow lies. The division between chapters was the point where the writers stopped writing at the end of the day. Breton gave many interviews about the creation of the book.
