Surrealism

Surrealism sculpture is a type of art that combines found objects or other unique items in unexpected ways to create a dreamlike effectThe goal of Surrealist art is to access the unconscious mind and combine fantasy with everyday life. Surrealist sculptures often feature unlikely juxtapositions of objects, and can be categorized into two main types: 

  • BiomorphAbstracted shapes and forms that are created through organic associations
  • Objet trouvéCompositions of random items that are chosen without strategy
Some examples of Surrealist sculptures include: 

  • The Enigma of Isidore DucasseA sewing machine wrapped in an army blanket and tied with a string
  • Why Not Sneeze Rose Sélavy? A birdcage filled with marble cubes that look like sugar lumps
  • ObjectA teacup covered with Chinese gazelle pelt

Surrealism originated in Paris, France in the 1920s and 1930s. The movement’s leader, André Breton, believed that Surrealist art could tap into the subconscious mind and puncture the thin veneer of reality
