Opis

What is Surrealism? Surrealism (according to Wikipedia) was a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself. Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader Andre Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a revolutionary movement. Surrealism developed largely out of the Dada activities during World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s onward, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy, and social theory. What is Surreal Art? A type of art that employs elements of surrealism and expressed in various mediums. What is Surreal Photo Manipulation? Surreal Photo Manipulation involves transforming or altering one or more photographs using various methods and techniques to achieve desired results specific to surrealism. Depending on the application and intent, photo manipulations are considered an art form because it involves the creation of unique images and in some instances, signature expressions of art by photographic artists. Examples of photo manipulation include retouching photographs using ink or paint, airbrushing, double exposure, piecing photos or negatives together in the darkroom, scratching instant films, or through the use of software-based manipulation tools applied to digital images. There are a number of software applications available for digital image manipulation, ranging from professional applications to very basic imaging software for casual users. The most commonly used software is Adobe Photoshop. About the contents of this book This book contains samples of finished surreal photo manipulation by the artist and author Solomon Barroa.
