THE DOMAIN OF ARNHEIM

THE MAGICIAN SELF PORTRAIT WITH FOUR ARMS

DESCRIPTION

• Rene was influential in the transformation of surrealism art, to the pop art movement.
• He would take normal objects and rearrange the figures, and locations,
• having them take a closer look at what they're looking at, and what it is showing.
• He started painting before the 50s but wasn't famous until then.

JUXTAPOSITION

• He uses juxtaposition in a few of his paintings like: Le Blanc Sieng with the girl
• and the horse positioned good enough that you can't tell if its in front of the
• trees or behind them. Also, in The Human Condition were it is hard to tell
• were the painting ends and the real image begins.

RELATIVE SIZE AND LEVITATION

• Relative size - The Listening room with the apple the size of the room.
• He doesn't include levitation in any of the art in this slide but he
• does use it in some of his paintings like Golconda (behind the artist in the
• first slide) with the floating men in the same hats and suits.

irrational combinations

• This is used in many of his works. Including The Seducer with a ship of water
• on water. In Not To Be Reproduced with the man looking at his reflection from
• the back. Also, The Magician Self Portrait With Four Arms, because he has
• four arms. Perspicacity with the man referencing the egg but drawing the bird.
• And many more of his paintings.
