Surrealism

One of the characteristics of surrealism was:

• to explore reality as it was back in that time.

• to explore the uncunscious mind

• to find answers in dreams

• To make people live in a nightmare

This painting is called "Son of Man", by Rene Magritte. The position of the apple can be considered...

• necessary, because it provokes curiosity about the man's face.

• unnecessary, because it was a mistake to include it on the painting.

• relevant, because it is green and means peace.

• Irrelevant, because it is not logical to paint an apple in front of a man's face.
