Surrealism
The idea to paint a world more
real than reality itself, unrelated to reality, is called surrealism.
Most artistic styles of painting in the past involved reflecting reality.
Salvador Dali
developed a style in which we see worlds that are unreal, in such a detailed
manner, they become real to us. As in a dream, he tried to invent things
outside known existence (liquid clocks, spilling keyboards) matched with
magical landscapes and emphasized how fascinating the human imagination
is. In Magritte's
paintings there are different motifs: Clouds, skies, the decapitated woman's
statue, or a man with a hat, they keep reappearing in his works as dreams
with recurring motifs.
Such surrealism was achieved by
John Cage
with his extreme "4' 33" composition.
The score of the work indicates to not play anything for exactly 4 minutes
and 33 seconds. The "music" is provided by any ambient sounds
occuring during the silent "performance", by any number of performers
and instruments.
