In this blog post, we are looking at surrealist subversion.
One of the first things we need to do is read or listen to an article and then watch a video. then we have to do a thumbnail sketch of artwork from the article. here is mine
This artwork is by Giorgio de Chirico, called The Uncertainty of the Poet, 1913. In this artwork, we can see a female bust on the left side, with a bunch of bananas beside her. There is an archway in the upper right of the painting, and in the background, there is a steam train. The bananas are supposed to be taken sexually.
This painting is subversive because it doesn't follow the 'rules of art' of when it was made. De Chirico used linear perspectives and erotic ideas in the artwork.
