Surrealism and Rene Magritte

[ElderlyMan3000]

I wish you would name these paintings, there are so many

[breachborn]

THIS IS BRILLIANT. Thanks a million for the best 8:04 minutes I have spent in a lifetime.

BRAVO!!!! <3 <3 <3

oh make that 16:08 REPLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYY!!

[Kalbim101]

I love surrealism!

[mrbluestrek1]

Nina Simone singing ?

[rickyEe2494]

can someone explain the picture on 1:44 , i didnt see the surrealism in it.



[RWSThe101]

Please, somebody help me understand surrealism, I WANT TO KNOW!!

[circae2012]

@RWSThe101 Surrealism is pure psychic automatism. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation. Surrealism is based on the belief in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. Do you understand it now?

[RWSThe101]

@circae2012 It's a good felling to know that Youtube isn't completely full of idiots. Thank you.

[Sadclownbc6]

@RWSThe101 can you look at my vid in my channel

[breachborn]

@RWSThe101 Just let your freak flag fly. :D :D :D

[shadownsand]

Excellent !!!

[iinmaa013]

12 ignorantes.....

[enzosfera]

Change the soundtrack, please.. it's terrific..

[COAHTLICUE]

el tío cosa de los adams es puro arte...que ignorante he sido, en el 5:29

[gracefulstumbles]

Did you match the video to the song or did you find a song that was 8 minutes and 4 seconds for this video?

[keqmser]

@gracefulstumbles I Think it was inspired by Thomas Crown Affair. I thought it was excellent. Really got me jumping round in my seat, tapping my toe and enjoying the work. But in a different mind set I might not have liked it either. Today - it added a sense of fun & dynamism to something that is usually dry & sombre - it really cheered me up! 8-D

[1rralphh1]

DALI is the best

[Picnicl]

In my opinion, Rene Magritte was by far the best surrealist because he rooted it in a very matter of fact presentation- still life if you like. He carried this through in the way he dressed- he dressed professionally and soberly in a bowler hat and suit. Combined with elements like the chess pieces in his work, this gives his work a sturdy and classical feel. It was serious stuff in a way that i don't think that flamboyant Dali, whose work so effortlessly adorns drippy student's walls, was.

[SmileyCrossbones]

@Picnicl think you hit the nail on the head there

[Picnicl]

@SmileyCrossbones Thanks.

[chickenandwaffles13]

Magritte is the best surrealist painter ever.

[pianoman930]

My favorite is Golconde

[ngraner421]

Dali is the better painter, Magritte is the better surrealist.

[uncutsquid]

Was that Ozzy I saw?

[ngraner421]

I see his art in other videos and think, where is the music that goes with it.

[CollinaSilente]

Il titolo corretto della canzone è Sinnerman, è stata usata anche per la colonna sonora di "gioco a due"

[Calvert1212]

wtf with that rock thing!?!?! ITS TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!

[syndrombong]

does anyone knows what's the name of the musical track?

[WithTheTrend]

@syndrombong Sinner man by nina simone! x

[PeaceNirvana1912]

Missing one of my favorites! "On the Threshold of Liberty". I am honored that that painting is in the Art Institute of Chicago, as I am able to access it with ease!

[chemavilchezcom]

Beautiful !!!! if you love art, please check this video, Carmen Redondo - The Death of the Tree

[romm6]

3:33 - what's the name of that painting?

[PeaceNirvana1912]

@romm6 That painting is "The Son of Man", I believe.

[thesmileykyle]

5:30 (cousin it) from adams family

[BighornTermite]

The name of the song is "Sinnerman," not "Four Women."

But thanks for posting. Magritte is the bomb.

[Gamerbeast8893]

I just love surrealism, it has no limits of imagination.

[lun960]

Wonderful, great, I Love it!

[hematitecrow]

You should have included the titles. they're an integral and interesting part to his works

[dmichalczyk]

I like his surreal artwork mostly because it's simple.

[Macfra1]

I am covering Magritte and surrealism in school just now, I don't understand it much at all at the moment but I'm finding it fascinating.

[kappyxisxscene]

Ceci n'est pas une pomme.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

Translation:

This is not an apple.

This is not a pipe.

:)

[MrJDazz1230]

Yup, surrealism is very very very strange indeed, yet I do have to admit that many of these make me think.

[Juste90]

I'm sooooooo in love with this video :)

Listen,I'm desperately looking for the picture in 4:50 could you please tell me what is it called? Thank you, have a good one :D

[StreangestdreaM]

[DejaVuSu]

What a wonderful song by Nina,

so loved this even more with your excellent images!!

[DejaVuSu]

@DejaVuSu ohhh excuse me.....The awesome Art work of Rene Magritte :)

[aengorn7]

Please check out my music videos with great deviant & surrealistic art., There are two songs, "Never More" & "The Reason". Enjoy:-)

[taliavdb]

rene magritte was against automatism, also against psychoanalysme. His work was the end of a long thinking and working progress. He asked advice at his friends and sometimes used their advice. Above a painter he was a poetic thinker who used painting as a way to express, shock and wake up the people

[olgzzzz]

Who is sings in this video?

[cozimco]

Nina Simone

[olgzzzz]

@cozimco Thanks :)

[J11pointK]

Genius, simply genius. Even though I still prefer Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo, but this is just amazing. I love Surrealism.

[TheKadore]

Nina Simone - Sinnerman

[kiarash1101]

The song name is "sinnerman" by nina simone I guess

[annpham]

Truly truly great artist!!!

[beyond1Mind]

this art perceives true reality, our dreams: day dreams and night dreams. our mind, has limited conditioned vision of our true nature. more and more children will become awake to observe past and future objects/subjects without even thinking about it. If you let go of the ego=Identity, these visions will be more sharper.

[Kythos]

Surrealism is where ART meets PSYCHOLOGY. It is so intriguing that it can motivate us to find other ways of perceiving this art. It is beyond Realism. Thank you Andre Breton for finding this movement. Actually, Surrealism derived from Dadaism, an Anti-art. Indeed Magritte is one of the greatest. It is all Psychic automatism without external control. Therefore, this can be considered as visual wisdom. It is psychoanalytically influenced.

[stepy94]

@Kythos I totally agree with you, Surrealism motivates us to understand its meaning, its essence, finding new ways everytime.

I really think that's the most revolutionary cultural movement of all time. I simply love it.

[flammesombres]

@Kythos

when it comes to the majority of surrealists, yes, but Magritte -- and the rest of the Veristic surrealists -- are quite different. Magritte was strongly against psychoanalysis, for instance, and abhorred psychoanalytic observations/"explanations" of his work. He was far more influenced by and interested in philosophy (especially Hegel).

[haohaohayashi]

@Kythos we should also thank Freud, De Chirico, and Dali :)

[vintagezigg]

Great song ! Great video of my favorite painter. Thanks , Just Brilliant !

[awaiinu]

I would give ANYTHING to meet him. He is such an inspiration. In my opinion, greatest artist ever lived. I saw the very first painting at a museum! It was the neatest thing ever. It was on a really big canvas too.

[aman3380]

Does any one know of any Surrealist artists that paint a lot musical type of things?

Like instruments, record players, sheet music, etc.

[mikejackson4ever]

Does Kandinsky count? Don't know if he's surrealism, or impressionism, or abstract. He did a lot of swirling musical notes and instruments.

[JohnPurchaseArt]

Kandinsky was all of those. His work was abstract, it was influenced by Impressionism. His later pictures were quite surreal.

He's mostly described as an Expressionist. That's exaggerating elements such as colour and shapes to create an emotional effect.

[berlin45ers]

name of the paining hat with the hair? 05:32

[ilovechickenmeat]

Eggs. Rocks. Birds. Apples. Men in bowler hats.

[Mavarla]

"Sinnerman" by Nina Simone

[BolotDuario]

does anybody jnow why he had this obsession with the stones?

health to all of you

[CaptainMarley]

Because stones ROCK!!

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

Because he felt a kinship with Keith Richards of course. ;)

[Picnicl]

than specifically the part of the picture that is a representation of a pipe. So 'This not a pipe' because 'This' is a painting instead.

[Picnicl]

Rene Magritte is the only surrealist that I like. Regarding his picture 'This is not a pipe', there is another, little commented upon, interpretation that I thought of. He is not necessarily referring to the picture above the words. He could be referring to the words themselves. 'This' is not 'a pipe' because 'This' is 'This'. And 'This is not a pipe' because those words are a sentence, not a pipe. Or the statement 'This is not a pipe; could refer to the painting as a whole, rather

[TVfan296]

In 6:38, it says "this is not a pipe," but its true. It's a PICTURE of one.

[astro104]

yeah...i like that one!

[TVfan296]

OMG! How could I have gotten -1???? o_O

Didn't you get it? Let me repeat once more. It's a PICTURE of a pipe, a PICTURE. Not an actual, physical pipe. You can't just grab just the picture of a pipe and smoke it silly. It said it on wikipedia forsake!

[xXSEGISMUNDOXx]

happy 110 bday
