Well, I did warn you.
Plenty of scope here for fertile minds to stretch elephant legs and the boundaries of surrealist art.

In the 60s and 70s you could find all the news that wasn't fit to print in the New York Times in Paul Krassner's magnificently impolite rag 'The Realist'.
Check it out here. |

| Nothing more surreal than the set Hollywood designed for this chocolate river scene in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory! |

Wow, I think my current avatar is perfect for this theme. It is a tiny piece taken from Bosch's 'Garden of Eartly Delights.' I first saw this rather disturbing, and intriguing, image on the cover of a science fiction novel when I was a kid back in the 60's. It has fascinated me ever since.
It is definitely surreal, like something from a puzzling dream. It also has a satisfying symmetry and it is completely and utter nonsensical and the product of Bosch's astonishing, frightening(?) imagination. |

My avatar is a picture of Luis Bunuel, probably the most famous surrealist filmmaker of all time and an icon of world cinema. I wrote a term paper on Bunuel's work in my International Cinema class in college.
Bunuel was born in Spain, but moved to Paris to study art within the growing surrealist movement in the 1920s. In 1929, he was directed, produced, edited, and financed a short film called "Un Chien Andalou," which he co-wrote with Salvador Dali. Bunuel�s second film, L�Age d�or (1930), was also written by himself and Dali and was Bunuel�s first feature length film. He later moved to Mexico where he met a successful producer named Oscar Dancigers. Dancigers produced my favorite of Bunuel's films, Los Olvidados(AKA The Forgotten Ones), which is sort of like a 1950s Mexican version of City of God, and won Bunuel the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival. He later moved back to France where he continued to make surrealist films into the 1970s that continued to push the envelope. Not all of his films are great, but I haven't seen one yet that wasn't interesting. |

| Well, it took me a while, but I am satisfied with my choice. (There is a lot of weird art out there, folks!) Anyway, may I present "Dali Llama". |

| I finally succeeded in uploading my choice (apparently the reason I kept seeing an 'Invalid Path Character' error message was that there was a comma in my file name). I chose it for its gorgeousness. It's Dali's Birth of a Divinity, painted in 1960. |
