20th CENTURY DESIGN, TASK 3

Surrealism

" Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon, and an inexplicable mystery, far more is the inexplicable mystery and aspects of our life confer on certain objects and aspects of life".
                                                                                                              by G. de Chirico

This is a movement which begun in 1924, in Paris. It was brought to life by artists and writers who sought to someway, somehow bring to life dreams or the subconscious world in their works. To these set of people the consciousness of an individual did not give way to opening up the doors of imagination, hence this principle they developed this abstract art style.
This art form unlike dada brought the inner self of the artist, it was a platform on which an artist could depict his psychological ideas about the world we live in and how in his dreams it may seem or to him how he desires the world to be.
This art style is one which is completely abstract, in the sense that it deals not with reality but more of imagination. It an art style which has undergone a wide range of development over years and is even currently been used today especially in science fiction movies, cartoons and even fairy tale stories like " Alice In Wonderland".   

Reflection 

This is an art form which deals with a great level of  creative thinking, it sets the human mind running wild. This art style is most suitable for designers who desire to do illustrations for children's stories, movies or anything in relation to that. It is a way of getting to know how to present your own world to the actual world.
