Flashcards

Henry Moore
Surrealism influenced Moore's exploration of the unconscious through organic forms, psychological landscapes, and his sculptural interest in the interior space of forms.
Max Ernst
Ernst's sculptures exuded a sense of strangeness and play with unexpected juxtapositions, using techniques such as assemblage to manifest his Surrealist visions.
Salvador Dalí
Dalí's sculptural work often reflects the same paradoxical and dream-like imagery found in his paintings, creating bizarre and thought-provoking three-dimensional surreal experiences.
Alberto Giacometti
While not strictly a surrealist, Giacometti's early works demonstrate a Surrealist influence, focusing on dreamlike and often disturbing forms that explore the psyche.
Jean Arp
Arp utilized chance arrangements of forms and biomorphic shapes in his sculptures, which reflect Surrealism's interest in the unconscious and its manifestation in art.
Joan Miró
Miró's works, initially more affiliated with painting, evolved into sculptures which carried Surrealist influence with playful, whimsical forms and vibrant colors that suggest a subconscious logic.
Louise Bourgeois
Bourgeois’s sculptures, although spanning multiple movements, contain Surrealist elements, with their often unsettling exploration of themes such as family, sexuality, and the subconscious.
Man Ray
Known for his photography, Man Ray also applied Surrealist thought to his sculptural works, which often play with absurdity and challenge traditional perceptions of objects.
Meret Oppenheim
Her work, especially pieces like 'Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure),' demonstrates a Surrealist transformation of everyday objects into unexpected, provocative works of art.
Marcel Duchamp
Even though Duchamp is associated with Dadaism, his concept of the 'Readymade' influenced Surrealist sculptors to reconsider the artistic significance of found objects.
Isamu Noguchi
While not exclusively a Surrealist, some of Noguchi's organic and abstract forms suggest surreal influences, with a fluidity that appears to tap into the subconscious.
Hans Bellmer
Bellmer's infamous doll sculptures are a quintessential example of Surrealist fascination with the uncanny and the transformation of the human body into a landscape of desire and anxiety.
