Surrealism
Dictionary: Surrealism, n.
Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express,
either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning
of thought.
Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by
reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.
Encyclopedia: Surrealism.
Philosophy. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality
of
certain forms of previously neglected associations,
in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought.
It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to
substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of
life.

(1904-1989)
Virtual
Dali
Dali's work is an illustration
of his vision of the world
a mixture of classic and baroque, of monarchy and anarchy.
And Dali the anarchist greets His Excellency Salvador Dali.
His solid roots in the concrete permit Dali to keep his equilibrium.
Abstraction and idealism are traps for the mystic.
As Miguel de Unamuno used to say,
"Realism is the coherence of mysticism."

Art
of theVisionary
" Traditionally,
Visionary art tends towards the beautiful, spiritual and sublime
in its subject matter. Perhaps because the artists themselves
have practised meditation, pursued their visions, and created
art with the aim in mind of higher spiritual attainment.
Nevertheless, if Visionary art is
concerned with visions that spontaneously arise in an altered
state of consciousness, then erotic and even pornographic visions
must be included in the genre. Indeed, many artists who have used
sacred symbols in their works have also, at times, found themselves
on a track leading to images of the sexual."
