Paul Klee, Twittering Machine (1922)
Marc Chagall, The Birthday, 1915

SURREALISM
The purpose of surrealism is “the future
resolution of these two states, dream and
reality, which are seemingly so contradictory,
into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one
may so speak.”
- Andre Breton, Manifesto of Surrealism (1924)
Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory (1931)
Joan Miro, Person Throwing a Stone at a Bird (1926)
Rene Magritte, Portrait (1935)
Meret Oppenheim, Fur Breakfast (1936)
Freedom of Love
Andre Breton
. . .
My wife with shoulders of champagne
And of a fountain with dolphin-heads beneath the ice
My wife with wrists of matches
My wife with fingers of luck and ace of hearts
With fingers of mown hay
My wife with armpits of marten and of beechnut
And of Midsummer Night
Of privet and of an angelfish nest
With arms of seafoam and of riverlocks
And of a mingling of the wheat and the mill
My wife with legs of flares
With the movements of clockwork and despair
. . .
