Luis Bunuel pioneered surrealist cinema. Many of his films revolve around three themes he was fanatic about. These being, religion, class and sexual desire. These topics can be linked to Bunuel’s early years. He was born on February 22nd, 1900 in Calanda, Spain. His birthplace was of highly religious mindset as many places were in Spain. In Bunuel’s semi autobiography My Last Breath he says, “The middle ages lasted until World War I” (8). The “Miracle of Calanda” (13) was a tale in which an…

Roberto Matta was a surrealist artist that was born in Santiago, Chile in 1911. He grew up in Chile and attended a Jesuit university there. He studied architecture and interior design. After graduating from the program in 1935 he began travelling the world. He first stayed only in Central and Southern America, but he then decided to join the Merchant Marines. This enabled him to travel around the world. Although architecture was his passion and what he was taught in school he also loved to…

Another example is a short film I first saw in my play analysis class. A slightly unconventional example I think, yet, I feel it goes with the argument that has been built. Salvador Dali in 1929 released a film called Un Chein Andalou, and the particular scene that I saw in class was of a man dissecting the iris of a young woman’s eye. The scene brings forward the idea that female sight is not central. Furthermore, it also reinforces the fact that men are not just the audience but also seem to…

Lydia Maria Child, an American abolitionist, and women’s rights activist once said, “nature made us individuals, as she did the flowers and the pebbles; but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles”. In other words, humans are naturally meant to be diverse and individual, but we’ve grown terrified of being ourselves no matter how different, because of society. Leonard Mead from the short story, “The Pedestrian” had made a wise…

Why is originality such a commodity? Paul Rand once said, “ Don’t try to be original, just try to be good.” However, designers these days as compared to the past are more preoccupied with the notion of originality, where they value the idea of being new and different from the rest. Having their work complimented as being original has become something that most designers would like to achieve. It feels as though being complimented with being original gives some sort of assurance and affirmation…

I studied brain and behaviour during my first year of clinical medicine, and found that I was particularly intrigued by neuroscience. Throughout my year at Barts and the London, I thought a lot about whether the course was right for me, and began considering other options. I struggled to feel passionate about the course and my future as a doctor, but decided to complete the year to confirm my feeling that a career in medicine was not right for me. During this year, however, I developed a…

found that somewhere between the impressionist Nihilists and the realist Evangelists I'd shut up. I was an only child who spoke enough for five. Always the brightest, but always with the least decorum. My mother kissed my hand and told me about Salvador Dali. His Persistence of Memory had hung above the mantle since my conception, adjacent to a print of Klimt's Kiss. I traced the lines on a copy of a Pollock which sat on my left wall every night as I drifted to sleep. My parents had me young. My…

meaninglessness of the modern world. It peaked in 1916 to 1922, with early centers in Zürich, Switzerland at the Cabaret Voltaire. It favored being against normal societal actions. Artists of Dadaism included Marcel Duchamp, Antonin Artaud, Max Ernst, and Salvador Dali. “Dada is what you can make out of yourself” (Hausmann, 1968) “Dada is a state of mind that can be revealed in any conversation whatever, so that you are compelled to say: this man is a DADAIST—that man is not; the Dada Club…
