The world of Surrealism unveiled
Arriving with a bang on the post-World War I scene, the Surrealists proclaimed a revolution of thought and creation, insisting on breaking away from the past and a world that had been left in ruins. This refusal to integrate into bourgeois society was also a leitmotiv of the Dada movement, a rebellious trait that led André Breton to say that Dadaism was "a machine had not thought to come up wi…

Claude Monet y obras de arte
Para Claude Monet, el que se le considerara "impresionista" fue siempre un motivo de orgullo. A pesar de todas las críticas que se han hecho a su trabajo, siguió siendo un verdadero impresionista hasta el final de su muy larga vida. Lo era por convicción profunda y, por el impresionismo, pudo haber sacrificado muchas otras oportunidades que su inmenso talento le ofrecía. Monet no pintaba co…

Claude Monet and artworks
For Claude Monet the designation 'impressionist' always remained a source of pride. In spite of all the things critics have written about his work, Monet continued to be a true impressionist to the end of his very long life. He was so by deep conviction, and for his Impressionism he may have sacrificed many other opportunities that his enormous talent held out to him. Monet did not paint classi…

Édouard Manet and artworks
Manet is one of the most famous artists from the second half of the nineteenth century linked to the impressionists, although he was not really one of them. He had great influence on French painting partly because of the choice he made for his subjects from everyday life, the use of pure colours, and his fast and free technique. He made, in his own work, the transition between Courbet's Realism…

Édouard Manet y obras de arte
Manet es uno de los artistas más famosos de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, ligado por lo general a los impresionistas, aunque en realidad no era uno de ellos. Tuvo gran influencia en la pintura francesa, en parte por la elección de sus temas, que sacaba de la vida cotidiana, pero también por el uso de los colores puros y por su técnica rápida y libre. En su propia obra se materializó la …

Surrealism
The Dada movement and then the Surrealists appeared in the First World War aftermath with a bang: revolution of thought, creativity, and the wish to break away from the past and all that was left in ruins. This refusal to integrate into the Bourgeois society lead Georg Grosz to remark of Dada, "it's the end of-isms." Breton asserted that Dada does not produce perspective, "a machine which funct…
