| Summary: | "Imagine three artists sitting at their easels about to represent the world around them. Take a subject as common as the human eye. Matisse just suggested the eye with two or three strokes of bold color and often hid his initials within those strokes. Magritte took the eye and turned it into a gigantic advertising poster - with clouds floating in the iris. And then there was Dali ? the eye appears, suspended in mid-air over a sky, like a bruise glassy and weeping. The title The False Mirror is taken from the painting by Magritte. Magritte's work takes ordinary objects and turns them into thought provoking mysteries. Dali, an ultra-surrealist. is an artist of dreamscapes that seem to scream for psychoanalysis. Matisse, who appears to be more serene of the three, is an artist that uses flat patches of intense color and tends towards an economy of line and shape. " -- Publisher. |
