These pieces are Surrealist to me because they depict the artists’ views of situations/life from a skewed and almost frightening perspective. Both of the above pieces show the artists themselves. The Kahlo piece is a self-portrait, and the Ernst piece features the artist as a green stork-like bird next to his lady love and supporter of his work, Peggy Guggenheim. Imagination is let loose while still piercing the real world. These Surrealist works resonate with me because I can see both the true story they are telling and the wild world of the mind that they are being twisted in.
