Surrealism was less about anti-art, and more about creating an art from the unconscious

Surrealism was less about anti-art, and more about creating an art from the unconscious
André Breton
"In physics as in painting, surrealism denies the possibility of a description which does not carry explicitly the stamp of the observer"
"Common sense" drawings are often horribly wrong
Just because you can't see art doesn't mean art doesn't see you.
"There are no rules for how we come by our theories. We can dream them up, see them in our tea leaves or take them out of the library. It doesn't matter."
John D. Barrow
We need something in drawing theory to believe in. The sharing principle allows art to progress efficiently. The art crisis is a loss of meaning because art is not separable from silliness.
Every drawing tells you something different.
Subjective knowledge always intercedes in the processes that bind the hand to the eye. It has been said that drawing cleans things, but there is no ultimate image of the human body.
Louise Whiteley, Nature 455, 468 (25 September 2008)
The brilliantly stupid voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Keep it simple. If it gets complicated it isn’t going to work. Art is not about accuracy or skill, it's about ourself and everything and nothing.
