Surrealism influences

This Giorgio de Chirico.  1888 1978

He is  a surrealist artist but was an artist before its time as Giorgio was creating these paintings before the manifesto was written and before the 1st world war. Giorgio Influenced surrealism.

The uncertainty or the poet 1913.

This painting almost represents a woman's desires as of how close the bananas are to woman's torso which looks like it is in movement and back in the time when the painting was painted when something were to happen between couples or 2 people th Eocene used to change to a train going into a tunnel. And in the background of the painting is a steam train with smoke rrefuring to the train as in motion.

Marcel Duchamp. 1887 1969.

Marcel is seemed to be a jokester/prankster take this sculpture of his.

Fountain (urinal stood differently) 1917. 

This is a urinal simply put on its back. Marcel was with the anti-art movement which was a group of people who would take the mess out of art and basically turn it upside down. The relevance to R,Mutt is the fact that it is a toilet manufactur which is another joke by Marcel. Also he likes to play with the gender boundaries.

       

Bicycle wheel 1915 1923.

Sculpture had changed from calving stone to assemblage which is using different materials and putting them together. This sculpture came to life when the wheel was spun.

       

L.H.O.O.Q 1919.

This is another one of Marcel's peices of work, it is a post card of the Mona Lisa which he has drawn a moustache on and wrote L.H.O.O.Q. underneath it. The letters L.H.O.O.Q. translated into French is a slang word for 'she has a hot ass'. Also there has been thought that there has been a moustache drawn on her face refuring to davinchi's homo sexuality.
