slc can be surreal

marcel duchamp

born today.

yves klein

monochrome painting - reaction to the weariness of existentialist skepticism. outside of time and history, without beginning or end.

'to sense the soul, without explanation, without words...' y.k.

fire paintings. monotone symphony.

value in posterity has been lost. its about here and now. we're closing in on pop art.

i don't know if its a fraud. but there is beauty.

ikb - international klein blue - rubbed all over the main character in 'pierrot le fou'. hmm.

gardens

"everything that is most eccentric in man, the gypsy in him, can surely be summed up in these two syllables: garden. Not even when he started adorning himself with diamonds or blowing into brass instruments did any stranger or more baffling idea occur to him than when he invented the gardens."

louis aragon, 'paris peasant'

henri matisse

the first manifesto vs. the second manifesto of surrealism

first manifesto:

psychic automatism

2nd manifesto:

the meeting of two disparate realities

the first sentence

Who am I? If this once I were to rely on a proverb, then perhaps everything would amount to knowing whom I "haunt."

diane arbus

uncanny in the sense that her photos are of the marginalized in society. the photographs invoke suprise, but there isn't an idea of an intersection between the conscious and subconscious fields. horror but not surreal.
