How to define Surrealism style?

Surrealism is a literary and artistic movement that appeared in France in 1924, written by André Breton. It can be translated as "above realism" or "more than real".It is a dictation of thought, where reason and aesthetic or moral concerns must be erased. For Breton, surrealism is justified by a desire for emancipation: by freeing the unconscious to reconcile it with the conscious, humanity will be able to free itself from the constraints imposed by logic and reason. The artists and writers will therefore be inspired by the Dada movement, as well as the theses of Sigmund Freud, and the works of the Symbolists, in particular those of Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon. In literature, this approach will manifest itself in curious experiments, such as automatic writing or the exquisite corpse. In art, different currents will stand out: we speak of organic surrealism (Joan Miro, André Masson, Max Ernst), for those who use automatic techniques to free their creative imagination, or dreamlike surrealism (Salvador Dali, René Magritte) for those who use traditional techniques to represent surrealistic subjects (visions, dreams, hallucinatory scenes, impulses, fears, phobias, desires…). Surrealism has a face: that of Dali and his mustaches, but it also has emblematic works in different mediums, such as the sculptures of Alberto Giacometti (Woman with the Cut Throat, Hands holding the Void ...), or the photographs of Man Ray (Black and White, Violin d'Ingres, The Gift…). The Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim for her part composed with these different mediums (sculptures, photographs, ready-mades) to transcribe with poetry the extent of this current. The recurring themes and symbols of surrealism are: unexpected encounters, incongruous juxtapositions, dehumanizing masks (African, gas or industrial), the praying mantis (embodying fear of women), as well as puns (especially between the title of the work and its composition) and other visual puns, such as the famous “This is not a pipe” by Belgian René Magritte.

Buying artworks on the theme of "Seascape"

The sea, the ocean ... a world synonymous with both the unknown, beauty, mysteries, dangers, adventures ... No wonder then that the navy alone constitutes a genre of painting that has always inspired generations of painters and which still fascinates us today. The sun setting on the horizon of the sea, the foam of the waves breaking on a rock, the beauty of the fine sandy beaches, the majesty of the boats sailing on the sea… Among the works that have best represented the seascapes through paintings of boats and other seascapes let us quote for example Théodore Géricault with "The Raft of the Medusa", "The Last Voyage" of the Bold by William Turner or "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" of the artist, Hokusai .

You will view a selection of artworks showing white and blue background first. You can add more colors in the filters of online art galleries.

Make sure you know what you want, a seascape painting on canvas with acrylic, oil or watercolor paint... How will the painting be shipped stretched on canvas, already framed?

You need to search for the most accurate information about the artwork. If it is an original art piece, it is signed or is it a signed print or just a print?

Another factor you might consider when buying paintings is the type of canvas that the artist used. Artists who create oil paintings and other types of artwork will specify the type of canvas they used. There are canvas types that are better for different types of artwork. For example, a canvas that is made for hanging outdoors is going to be a bit thicker than a canvas that is better for indoor decoration.

Seascapes are definitely a great source of inspiration for artists mostly influenced by impressionism. Artists love to reproduce subjects and objects on the sea.  They usually hand paint these elements on canvas with oil, acrylic or watercolor in the marine theme.

Buying a painting online is a piece of cake if you consider the price and shipping fees comparison that is available on the internet. Art lovers can access the largest source of information for artworks. You can type the title of the artwork and artist name you like, then instantly you will find the best choice.

You should also consider what painting you like according to the format (square, rectangle...) and size you require. This is especially important if you buy art online because you do not want to get a canvas with the wrong dimensions. It will be a pity to order an artwork for your home and then finding out that it does not fit your space. 

On top of getting the right size canvas for the painting, you should think about how you plan to hang your seascape painting once you buy it. The hanging instructions come with the painting and this can help you buy art online and make sure you have it hung properly on your wall.
