surrealism

Surrealism is a 20th century movement of artists and writers this includes Surrealist music music and film.
Separation - Edvard Munch
This is a surreal image but still has a story behind it, by the figures in the image it shows a bride walking away, possibility at the altar, the male figures is grabbing his heart as to show heart break. The vale of the brides dress disappears into the distance suggesting they have come a long way in their relationship. The colours of the background are dark and gloomy creating a cold, painful feeling.

Another artist that was involved in the surrealusm movement is Giorgio De Chirico
L'Angoisse du départ - Giorgio De Chirico
This image gives a chilling effect as we can see both silhouette of the little girl and a male figure but we know the little girl is not aware of her the danger ahead of her. Although if you continue to study this image your perception can change she could be running towards the male figure as it is reaching sunset, she could be on her way home, she could even be runny away from danger instead of towards it.
