Surrealism

Rene Magritte - 1898-1967
Turns meanings upside down or destroying them completely
''Dislocated objects from their settings''
The point of his paintings were to make a point & not distract from that

-This is not a pipe - Ceci n'est pas une pipe
-Son of Man
-The Blank Signature
-Clairvoyance (shown below)

Painting were simple, easy to look at, safe colour, colours don't distract you from the abstractness, mild colours. Making the eye believe it more.

Non Sequitur- A conclusion or argument which does not logically follow the previous argument or statement

Giorgio De Chirico
-The Uncertainty of the Poet

Metaphysics - the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.
