Surrealism During 1930s Surrealism

Surrealism is a way of expressing the true function of thought, without consideration of the entire lies and logic outside any moral or normal interpretation of life. For a long time surrealism has been widely enjoyed. Due to its sense of playfulness as well as spontaneity, it brings mystery and fantasy within art pieces. It has most fascinating aspect such as the numerous ideas and questions surrounding it making it a widely inspiring modern. The analysis will include surrealists work in the 1930s and how they commented on the art, fashion and notion of femininity.

The most significant surrealist misogyny from the early 1930s was Hans Bellmer's photographs of distorted as well as deformed dolls. Surrealist artists and writers could show their manipulated and objectified femininity within their work using their violently erotic reorganization of female body parts in to awkward wholes. Based on the manipulation and reconstruction of the female form by Bellmer, it gave encouragement for a comparison to be made with the mutilation and reconstruction that was prevailing across Europe at the time of World War I, (Man Ray, 1925). When we engage in viewing the dolls, then we might be capable of seeing their distorted forms in terms of male anxiety's displacement onto the women's bodies. This means that both Bellmer's and other male surrealists work who gave a picture of fragmented female bodies, could be a reflection of both misogyny and the disavowal of emasculation using symbol transference.

Dolls' fabrication as well could express a link to consumer society. These dolls had an impression of surrealist mannequins that have been made by the prosthetic industry, since despite their deformed nature; their interlocking could show a chilling blend of wartime bodily trauma and mass-market eroticism. Such connections between consumption and desire, between eroticism and the horror of war trauma tend to be never specific to idiosyncratic visual rhetoric. Nevertheless, the idea to join contradictory approaches as well as...

Taking a deeper view in consideration of such contrasts to be among the wider surrealist agenda, then people can realize the way surrealists had an objective of destabilizing the assumption of their viewers in terms of boundaries that exists between contradictory things, for example between men and women, between fine art and mass, and between convention and perverted sex.
Generally, incorporation of feminine label within certain works indicates that intention of surrealists was to intervene in the consensus discourse concerning the function and nature of man hood after the World War I. When we emphasize further gender indeterminacy, male anxiety, hybrid subjects as well as through mixing their structured and rhetorical conventions that have been borrowed from mass media, psychology, pornography, and advertisement, the surrealists could develop different strategies trusted that could manage to upset the status quo.

Acts of displacing cultural anxieties to the feminine from masculine is not strange within art and literature history. Both male artists as well as writers have been known for a long time to use female body images to describe their cultural capital, either through painting languorous and existing nudes of females in form of object of desire or through manipulating such nudes in trying to portray their medium mastery. Even during twentieth century and before, there was a common claim by avant-garde artists of subversive artistic identities for themselves through bringing on board elements of feminine into their work, (Prezi, 2009). Just like the current modernist, the surrealists have never been distinguished from the numerous resorts to feminine stereotypes.

Due to the publication of the art work in France that belonged to Sigmund Freud regarding hysteria and psychoanalysis during the 1910s and 1920s, interest of surrealists grew continuously towards certain psychi of femininity that was noted…
