Surrealism
Surrealism sculpture is a type of art that combines found objects or other unique items in unexpected ways to create a dreamlike effect. The 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:
- Biomorph: Abstracted shapes and forms that are created through organic associations
- Objet trouvé: Compositions of random items that are chosen without strategy
- The Enigma of Isidore Ducasse: A 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
- Object: A 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
