Please take this item and watch it. We also end up appreciating the art itself. Far too much of our education happens to be historiucal and I find trhis unfair when it comes to appreciating art.
It is far better to study recent masters and their influences and then follow up by studing their influences in depth.
This also applies to literature although the most important influence is the Bible.
My point is that working backward opens up a library of relational art that can be then appreciated on its own meri8ts and body of relationships.
I put off appreciating Picaso and surealism because i was too busy reflecting on the ancients and their work. Seen through the faux eyes of Picaso would have beden wonderful.
A mindbending trip that summons the forgotten women of surrealism
https://aeon.co/videos/a-mindbending-trip-that-summons-the-forgotten-women-of-surrealism
While writing her dissertation on surrealism as a graduate student at New York University in 1971, Gloria Feman Orenstein discovered that women had been left out of the surrealist canon. Through a series of serendipitous – and perhaps even supernatural – adventures that took her everywhere from New York to Paris to Mexico City, Orenstein became the academic voice of feminist surrealism. In her searches, she also became a close friend to many influential female surrealists, including Leonora Carrington and Meret Elisabeth Oppenheim. In Gloria’s Call, the Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Cheri Gaulke manifests Orenstein’s journey into the surreal with collage-like animations. Through her appropriately trippy visual style and glimpses of the mindbending work of these female surrealists, Gaulke illustrates the undeniable brilliance of a generation of artists who might have been overlooked were it not for a like-minded feminist critic.
