    Known as “America’s Diner”, Denny’s is perhaps best known for their round-the-clock breakfast service, wholesome image, and commitment to diversity. Even their official Facebook page illustrates this portrayal with its formal language, warm photography, and frequent charitable events. However, if one was to look at their other forms of social media, namely their Tumblr page, there would be an entirely different reading of their brand status. It is on their Tumblr where Denny’s posts humorous photo manipulations, surreal animated gifs, and strange stories and jokes all in the same vein as the typical teenaged Tumblr user. Adopting the often sardonic and surrealist humour popular on Tumblr, Denny’s is able to communicate and, consequentially,…

    For instance, Claesz, in trying to push his moral rather than the pure sentiment of art for art’s sake, sticks to local color and a realistic depiction of all the elements in his Still Life with a Skull and a Writing Quill. Like using simple words to tell various aesops, this plain decision does not distract from the story of futility Claesz tells in his painting, and can appeal to the widest range of people purely by faithfully presenting real objects they can identify. He is not, however, completely ignorant to the power which color can wield, as the highlighted area of the skull has a powerful contrast with the dark background, again serving to make Still Life with a Skull and a Writing Quill yet more high-impact, so it can more efficiently deliver its message. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to discern whether Pablo Picasso used local color in Still Life with a Bottle of Rum, as his integration of the subject with the background is so absolute as to be unable to tell which plane is which part of the image. His overall color scheme is extremely muted, working only in browns and tones of black, white, and gray.…

Rene Magritte used common everyday objects in his paintings and transformed them into cryptic and thought provoking images by using veils, colors, and proper placement of objects and people. In order to understand the meaning behind Magritte’s paintings, one must understand the artist.…

    In Professor Bethke’s presentation she brought up how surrealism is all about what lies underneath, unseen, but influences us. This unconscious self, with all of its desires, is what unsettles us because it is the “real” us, or what we really want. Surrealism, which came about in 1924, is an interesting response to the oppressive, restrictive conscious self. Fascism from what I have seen, appeals to very basic ideals. It appeals to identity, to violence, to emotion, and to what looks good.…
