Traditional Surrealism
Mariu Suarez
She was born in Columbia, South America. She has been painting since 1968. She goes to solo and group art shows all around the world to expose her art to others. Most of her artwork depicts mankinds growth towards true humanity. For most of her artwork, she uses Oil and egg-tempera, which was a technique used in the renaissance period.

Artist: Frida Kahlo
Style: Traditional Surrealism
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter who often produced images that were shocking and reflected her turbulent life growing up. She did not always plan on being an artist. Kahlo went into a premedical program but had to quit because of a terrible bus accident. She spent over a year in bed. During her healing process she began painting and experimenting with oil paints. Often she paints out of the ordinary still life paintings and self portraits.
Artist: George Grie
Style: Digital Surrealism
Yuri Gribanovski, the artist formally known as George Grie, has a common theme throughout all of his artwork and that is the fantasy theme. His work is very dreamlike and playful to the eye. His work is very supernatural and it creates puzzling illusions as well. He often works with a monochromatic color scheme using dark tonality experimenting with shades of black, dark blue, and teal. He was born in Russia and is heavily influenced by the works of Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali.
Similarities & Differences:
Although Kahlo and Grie both depict unnatural and bizarre images they do not have very much in common. Grie often focuses on fantasy dream-like settings. His portraits, yet very unreal, look as if they could be real. On the other hand Kahlo’s do not. She takes several images very out of touch with each other and combines them into one sick and twisted, yet interesting painting. She does a lot of self portraits. However, Grie does not. Kahlo paints things that she knows well from life experiences while Grie completely creates his very own images not known to exist. By now I think we all know that the Earth is not flat yet Grie and depict it in the way that it IS flat and you will believe it. His images are more believable while Kahlo’s are not. Kahlo’s are not meant to come off as realistic. Grie’s images, on the other hand, are.

Noir Ciss "Noircissant"
-Noir, from what very little information she has put on her DeviantArt, website, AND livejournal, is an artist from Russia. She creates dark and somethings disturbing images. From putting a cat’s head on a person’s body, holding a fish-headed baby, to alien-looking people, she seems like the kind of person you wouldn’t expect to live a ‘normal’ life. The only hobby she listed is being an artist, and is learning, or has learned, an education in being a psychiatrist.

Joan Miro
-The Catalan artist, Joan Miro, was born in 1893, and died in 1983. His works contain to what has happened with his life, like stages. The type of works he does is Cubism, where things aren’t proportional. An art of his is called ‘The Farm’, which portrays the three farms in nine months where he worked at.

#3 Both create some pictures that are out of the ordinary. They don't catergorize under what people find as normal. They make you sit there and think about what they have drawn, and to comprehend it.
Noir's images she created is made from computer technology, while Joan's is made out of paint. Noir's picture is a bit more proportional, and Joan's seems disfigured. Noir is from our time, and Joan is a whole century back. Noir creates a creepy feeling with her pictures, but Joan's doesn't seem to give people (well, me anyway) any certain feeling from it. Noir is from Russia, while Noir spent most of his life in Italy, so different locations may mean different styles of art.

Traditional surrealism
Francis picabia Born in Paris was a great artist. At the start of his artistic career he loved impressionist paintings. Then in 1913-1915 he went to New York and became a part of avant-garde. Then in 1916 he was interested in mechanical drawings. Now in 1921 he then found surrealism painting and lived everything about them. So then he was now a full time surrealistic painter until he died in 1953.

Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904 in Spain. Dali first started to make an impression in the United States and Europe in the late 1920’s-30. His artwork was influenced by Picasso and Freud. Salvador Dali was famous for his flamboyant personality and spunk. He only wasn’t an artist but a writer, director, and actor. Dali died on January 23, 1989 due to heart failure.

Digital surrealism
George grie was acquired classical artist born in 1962. He was influenced by many of the best surrealist painters in the world. George’s digital artworks are extraordinary in all ways. in his earliest paintings he gives his artwork a graphical appeal but now he is putting a firm contrast between light source and dark tonality. George is still alive today doing what he loves to do best is paint.

Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueras, Spain. Dali attended drawing school in 1916. The next year, Dali's father organized an exhibition of his charcoal drawings in their family home. He had his first public exhibition at the Municipal Theater in Figueras in 1919. In 1922, Dali moved into the Students' Residence in Madrid and there studied at the School of Fine Arts. In 1924, Salvador Dali illustrated for the first time a book. He illustrated the poem "The Witches of Llers" that was written by his friend Carles Fages de Climent. That same year he made his first visit to Paris where he met with Pablo Picasso. Picasso had already heard good things about Dali from Joan Miró. Dali did a number of works influenced by Picasso and Miró over the next few years as he developed his own style. In 1931, Dali painted one of his most famous works, The Persistence of Memory. He died on January 23, 1989 of heart failure at Figueras, at the age of 84.
Dawid Michalczyk
He was born and raised in Poland. After high school he considered studying computer science, but his online gallery generated so much positive feedback, including job offers, he decided to give computer graphics a try. He has been working as a freelancer and on-site artist since 1996. Dawid started making digital images in 1993 after several years of fascination with the computer graphics from Amiga demos and games. By the mid 1990's he created a website to showcase my work online and it is still running. He currently lives in Scandinavia, but he works at game studios in Norway and the United States.
Salvador Dali seems to use random objects that don't make a lot of sense in his pictures. Such as random knives or birds that is in a background of water and a table. Dawid on the other hand gets his pictures to make sense and uses objects that can go together in the picture. As far a techniques go, Dawid does digital surrealism while Salvador did triditional surrealism with a paint brush or pastel. Salvador Dali used a lot of levetation in his paintings and I would say the Dawid uses scale in a lot of his. Both of the artists went to school for their profession.
John ham period 2
1. My first artist was "Mark szelc" he is a student that i could not find much information on and seems to be a fairly young artist of his time.
2. My Second artist is "Joseph Cornell" spent most of his life in a frame house on Utopia Parkway in Queens, New York, with his mother and his crippled brother, Robert. From there this reclusive, gray, long-beaked man would sally forth on small voyages of discovery, scavenging for relics of the past in New York junk shops and flea markets.
Bolth of these artist seem upset about something in there art work weither its war or something going wrong in there life weither its present or the past. Bolth of these artist are completely diffent in there artistry work where mark szelc talks of war and how it will happen just like another world war and Joseph cornell talks of his past and not about the future.
Cody Wirkus Period 2 My surrealist artist is Man ray. He lived from August 27, 1890–November 18, 1976. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. But he lived in Brooklyn, New York for his school years. In 1915, he had his first one-man show of paintings and drawings. He moved to los angeles california later on in his life.
Eric green is a digital artist that dos paintings, pictures, drawing and poems. He lives in New York, New York. Once of his quotes is "My images are chosen for their visual and conceptual contrast, by arranging fundamental natural elements and manmade objects". He paints stuff like rooms falling matches and mazes and also dos self portaits.
They both do pictures or paintings that are abstrack and uses wierd colors and stuff. But Green is in to more Painting places and Ray is into painting objects with a little twistes on them. They both us alot of black and white paintings.

Period 3
#1 : Marc Chagall: He was born in 1887 and was the eldest of nine children. He studied art at a secular Russian school and also at Leon Bakst in St. Petersburg. His images began to display his childhood memories. His style was strong bright colors and otherworldly images. In 1917 he was appointed Commissar for Fine Arts in Vitebsk, and later was Director of the Free Academy of Art. He moved to the United States to flee from Nazi terror and his fear of them was shown in his most recent paintings of that time.
Heather Williams: there was no information on this artist.
#3 : Both artists use similar styles in lighting values because they each have focal points where the light is the brightest and strongest. Also, each picture portrays an event that is happening at night. One difference is that Chargall’s pictures are more animated and cartoon-like where Williams’ are clearer and human-like.
Alex Lugo Period 3
#1 Marc Chagall was born in 1887 he was Russian born French painter. Marc was born into a Jewish family in the ghetto in the large town of White Russia. He was engaged for 12 years to the same women (Bella Rosenfeld) then finally married after a long 12 years. He was influenced by cubism also was interested in the Simultaneist vision of Robert Delaunay. Marc went to the ambitious projects for a local academy, but he left after two and a half years in order to escape the revolutionary dictates of Malevich.
Beau Westover There’s no information on this artist.
#3 Both of my artists used a animal in their photos, marc Chagall used a gazelle and Beau used a polar bear in this. In marc’s painting he has many limbs pretty much floating around in the photo like arms legs and a head. Also in marc’s painting his objects consist of a vase and a cup. The shading in this painting is a red getting lighter to the end of the object. In Beau’s photo the objects consist of a compass rose in the bottom right hand corner and a map that is transparent over the whole image. There’s not a whole lot that is the same but many things that are different.

My first tradtional artist was Marc Chagall, he was born in 1887 in Russia to a Jewish family. In 1910 he moved off to Paris to study art. He was really influenced expressionism and cubism. Later, after he had moved back to Russia and gotten married, he moved back to the south of France and found ceramics, sculpturing and stained glass.
My second artist is digital surrealism, and his name is Ryan Stefanelli and there is no information on him.
#3
These two artists are very different, on one hand, Chagall uses lots of very bright colors, while Stefanelli uses mostly grays and blacks. The subjects are not at all the same either, the only thing that is similar is the fact that both pictures have a church in them.
Jordan Brown PD3
Salvador Dali:
He is a very intellegent man to put simple things in to great arts of work. he worked with Walt Disney and they started a short cartoon called Destino. it was never really finished but was started in 1945 and 58 years later in 2003 it was finally released.
George Grie:
As russian canadian artist he was one of the first real Neo-Surrealist artist. He is known for numerous 3D, 2D, and matte painting. he was born in the USSR during the Soviet regime.
Compare and Contrast:
Grie is the modern surrealist unlike Dali he created great works of traditional surrealism. Dali painted, did films, sculpture, and photography. Grie is a digital modern surrealist and yet they are both one of the first surrealist of their time.

Man Ray was born in 1890 to Russian-Jewish partents in Philadelphia. He was a significant contributer to not only the surrealist movement, but also Dada. Photography and painting were his specialtys. In 1999, he was named one of the top 25 most influential artists of the 20th century.
Markus Mainberger likes surrealism, Martin Grochulla
likes museums, so together they created a surrealistic museum picture generated on the computer. Both attend Saarland University and created this picture for the class. Not much information is know about these two artists, as they are mearly students in a class, and this was a project.
The two artists are vastly different. Man Ray was a painter and a photographer, whose main subject was women. Markus and Martin are college students who generate photographs using computer programming. Their only published work is of the surreal museum. Man Ray was also born more than a century before them.

Artist: George Grie
Style: Digital Surrealism
George Grie, birth name Yuri Gribanovski, was born May 14, 1962 in the USSR during the soviet regime. He uses a photo realistic technique to give him a firm contrast between the lights and darks; that also gives his artwork a graphical appearance. Grie’s artwork isn’t usually very comforting, giving a tense uneasy feeling when viewing. His whole idea is to capture visual paradoxes.
Artist: René Magritte
Style: Surrealism
René François Ghislain Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium on November 21, 1898. Magritte’s mother committed suicide in 1912 by drowning herself in the River Sambre. He was there when her body was retrieved. Many say this is the reason he has a series of paintings with cloth covering the peoples faces, just like his mothers dress when she was found in the river. Magritte produced is first surreal painting in 1926, The Lost Jockey, and critics did not like the new style of art he was producing. Though critics didn’t like it he kept painting, and eventually his artwork became famous around 1960. Magritte died on August 15, 1967 from pancreatic cancer.
There are quite a few differences between these two artists. Magritte painted pictures that sometimes looked as though all the objects could be placed in the right spot, and then sometimes they’re were random objects that you didn’t know why exactly he would put them there. Grie on the other hand makes his artwork more dream like, and fantasy. His are all usually dark and gloomy while Magritte’s paintings use both lights and darks to create paintings.

Artist: Rene Magritte
Style: Traditional Surrealism
Rene Magritte was born November 21, 1898, in Lessines, Hainaut (Belgium). He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, in 1914. He sold his first painting in 1923, which was a portrait of a singer. In 1943, he tried a new style of painting, called Renoir, which he continued until 1947. In 1967, right before his death, there was an art exhibition that he was in. Rene Magritte dies on August 15, 1967.
Artist: Sylvie Robert
Style: Digital Surrealism
Sylvie Robert was born in Paris, France. She studied art and architecture at L’ Ecole du Louvre in Paris. Her work involves fantasy backgrounds. She was discovered at the age of 14 she had a gift for digital art. Her first art expedition was in Hungary and it was called the Bridge Project. She currently lives in Miami Beach, Florida.
3. Magritte has real objects in his painting. Robert has crazy objects and crazy color in her picture. Hers is so much more wild and crazy then Magritte’s is. Magritte painting is down to Earth and isn’t over the top. Sylvie Robert is a little over the top but it has so much color and a cool background.

Joan Miro
(1893-1983)
He began drawing as a young boy, and later attended a business school, as well as La Lonja School of fine arts. He took an accounting job for about two years to make his family happy, then about after a nervous breakdown he stuck to painting. In the beginning of his career he dabbled in different painting styles that were fashionable at the turn of the century like Fauvism and Cubism. He met Pablo Picasso and many of the other great painters and artists living in Paris at the time. Then his style of painting changed to surrealism for good, that is what he focused on. In 1992 his old house was transformed into the Miro Museum open to the public.
Digital Surrealist
George Grie
He was born on May 14, 1962. He graduated from the State University in 1985 with a Honors Degree in Fine ARt and Applied Design Education. Grie's paintings are concerned with the portrayal of strong and powerful images relying on visual impact. He becomes a professional Multimedia Graphic Designer and joins IBM Corporation as a dead new media specialist. His latest digital neo-surrealistic artworks are an extraordinary photo realistic visual record of his conceptual thoughts, philosophic views, fantasies, and dreams.
Similaries and Differences
Joan Miro's is more smooth and you can tell its a real painting and for George Grie's its more sharp. Both capture the art of surrealism very well. I also think that Grie's is more intense, complex and into the subjects when Miro's is simple and smooth.

Artist: Rene Magritte
Style: surrealist
Belgian surrealist painter, he studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. His first one-man exhibition was in Brussels in 1927. He was a very detailed, skillful technician, and is noted for piece that have an extraordinary combination of ordinary objects or an unusual context that gives new meaning to familiar things. The type of artwork he did was often referred to as magic realism. He created surrealist versions of famous paintings. Magritte’s work was first shown in the United States in New York City in 1936 and again in that city in two retrospectives, one at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965 (U.S. tour, 1966), and the other at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992. People often misunderstood his artwork leaving him struggle for years until it became accepted.
Artist: Brian walker
Syle: contemporary digital artist
His images explore and exploit the realm between fantasy and reality, recreating scenes that mend illustration and fashion with an element of surprise. His passion for illustration first began when he started using photography as a tool to represent the ideas of the impossible within the believable context of photography. His works have featured battery packed human figurines, fur clad models destined for the meat market and a post modern take on the beloved nursery rhyme Jack and Jill. Walker first came across photography eleven years ago in the form of analogue and black and white, progressing to colour and eventually discovering the early version of Photoshop. His influences by surrealist artists are Dali and Magritte. Today he is influenced by fashion, popular culture, plasticization of the female form, and online virtual dress up doll David Lachapelle. His artworks have been featured on the covers of a number of photography journals and he has exhibited with leading digital artists such as Phillip George.
Similarities and Differences:
They both like the surrealistic artwork. Magritte painted and drew our his art work, while Brian uses digital photography and Photoshop. They both base their work off of fantasy mixed with reality while portraying a meaning to each piece.

Biography
Marcel Duchamp – (Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp) was born July 28, 1887, near Blainville, France. In 1904, he joined his artist brothers, Jacques Villon and Raymond Duchamp-Villon, in Paris, where he studied painting at the Académie Julian until 1905. Duchamp’s early works were Post-Impressionist in style. His paintings of 1911 were directly related to Cubism but emphasized successive images of a single body in motion. In 1912, he painted the definitive version of Nude Descending a Staircase (art picked) this was shown at the Salon de la Section d’Or of that same year and subsequently created great controversy at the Armory Show in New York in 1913.
Paris Wells – no back ground knowledge is known of Paris Wells just that he paints surrealistic things to express himself, and that there is a musician Paris Wells but they are not the same person.
Comparing and Contrasting Artists
Marcel Duchamp created the nude descending stair case in 1913, which was in the middle of his art career and in the middle of a movement called the dada, which protested in European countries about World War 1. Over all this painting helps reflect how it doesn't matter if you can see the stairs but to know that you can always work your way up.
Paris Wells is a digital surrealist and seems to have a lot of people in his paintings in which they are described or made to be a just kind of there item in his works, and make everything around them seem more important and much more details added to objects then people.
My first artist was Joan Miro. During the civil war he was prevented from returning to his home so he set up in the gallery of his Paris dealer, Pierre Loeb. Miró remained in Paris from 1936 to 1941, the year Normandy was bombed, when he settled in Palma de Mallorca, his mother's birthplace. The next year he returned to Barcelona, where he found he could live after all. His work thinned after the war, though his productivity was still there, and his influence went up, especially in New York, where his ideas were absorbed and transcended
My second Artist was Paris wells. he captures the essence and intensity of a single moment or occurrence and then exaggerates that small instant in grave detail. His imagery is nothing more than a deeply sarcastic manipulation of subconscious habits, social inadequacies, mannerisms and insecurities.
Both artists have bizzare works of art but are not alike in many ways. Miro paints mostly imaginative things while Wells does more of things you might see in everyday life.

Rachel Naples-digital surrealistic artist- Rachel Naples has always been into art by drawing from memory when she was a little kid. She has loved both art and science so she went to Lamar University to study fine art, Biology, anatomy & physiology, psychology, and anthropology. She also had private mentorship in oil painting in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and digital design training in Austin. Rachel gets her inspiration from her family and other artist. Art helps her express her love for both science and art.
René Francois Ghislain Magritte- traditional surrealistic artist
He studied at the Academe Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels from 1916 to 1918. He first designed graphics for fashion magazines and wallpaper. He was inspired by Giorgio de Chirico, He founded to Belgian Surrealist group in 1924. He devoted himself to the study of surrealism while living in Paris from 1927 to 1930. During that time he created his most famous paintings.
#3. Both artist did some kind of study on art and surrealism. Naples bases her paintings off of life experiences and her love of science where Magritte is known as Belgium’s greatest 20th century artist and one of the godfathers of surrealism he also did more than just surrealism he also did sculptures and different kinds of art.

Traditional artist: Joan Miro
Digital artist: Frank Picini
Joan Miro was born in Barcelona Spain. He started studying arts at two different places, one was the Barcelona School of Fine Arts and the other was Academia Gali. Even though Joan loved art his parents would have rather seen him in business but they did not discourage the art field. Before he became famous for his surrealistic art Joan was experimenting with different art styles like Fauvism and Cubism. As an artist he met many artists like Pablo Picasso being one of them.
Frank Picini graduated art school in 1980 majoring in fine arts and printmaking. He started with paintings that he sold in his college years but when he turned to computers, found it was much easier to be noticed. He started working at local TV stations doing this every day.
The two artists are similar because they both express ideas in the form of art. All of there artwork has a central theme that they tell. They are also similar in that when they first started making art they moved all around and didn’t stay in one city or country too long. They are different in that Joan Miro’s paintings were 2d and Frank Picini’s paintings were 3d. Another difference is that Joan Miro’s paintings were all about color and being abstract, Frank Picini’s picture were mostly black and white.

Frank Picini graduated art school in 1980 majoring in fine arts and printmaking. He started with paintings that he sold in his college years but when he turned to computers, found it was much easier to be noticed. He started working at local TV stations doing this every day.
The two artists are similar because they both express ideas in the form of art. All of there artwork has a central theme that they tell. They are also similar in that when they first started making art they moved all around and didn’t stay in one city or country too long. They are different in that Joan Miro’s paintings were 2d and Frank Picini’s paintings were 3d. Another difference is that Joan Miro’s paintings were all about color and being abstract, Frank Picini’s picture were mostly black and white.

2. (Digital) Artist:Kurt Schwitters
Kurt Schwitters is known as the twentieth century's greatest master of collage. Born in Hanover, the only child of affluent parents, he was a loner in his youth, plagued by epileptic attacks, introverted and insecure, and as a student at the Dresden Academy of Art he proved as apt as he was unimaginative. Although his contact with Expressionist artists in Hannover in 1916 gave him more confidence to develop his own style, even his most impressive works (such as Mountain Graveyard) were little more than imitations of his contemporaries.
3. these two artist really don't have alot in common. Peter started his art work somwear calm in a small town in southern new brunswick. on the otherhand, kurt started his work in a place a little more out of hand. Kurt has even been recognized as one of the greatest artist in the 20th century.

George Grie was born in the USSR and didn’t accept socialist realism and instead chose surrealism. He went to various fine arts institutions before finally deciding to become a fine art painter and graphic artist. He’s transformed his artistic career from tradition to digital, leading him to become a professional multimedia graphic design. He joined an IBM Corporation as a lead new-media specialist.
Giorgio DeChirico was Italian was born in Greece in 1988. He did most of his studying in Munich in his early twenties. He became a hero of surrealism. He wanted to become a classicist and almost did. For the past 70 DeChirico’s city has been a capital of modern imagination thanks to him.
Comparisons: They both have impossible things happening in their pieces and they’re both very random.
Contrasts: DeChirico looked more painted compared to Grie’s more digital work. Thus making Grie’s look more real then DeChirico which was an obvious surrealism piece.

Mark Chagall
Traditional Surrealist
1) Mark Chagall was born one of eight children in White Russia to a humble Jewish family in the year 1887. He was encouraged by his mother to follow his talent and love of art and to make it a vocation. She surprisingly was able to enroll him into the St. Petersburg Art School. After returning to his home in Vitebsk, Chagall became engaged to Bella Rosenfeld, who he did not marry until ten years later. Moving to Paris in 1910, Chagall there planted his roots as a French painter. In 1914, during WWI, Mark Chagall moved back Vitebsk, and then married Bella there in 1915. Two and a half years after 1917, he left his town to avoid revolutionary dictators, moving from Moscow to Berlin to finally end up in Paris again in 1923. Chagall only played around with Surrealism between the dates of 1941-48 in New York where he had been exiled due to Nazi infested Germany. It was in 1944 that his wife Bella died. Chagall departed this world in 1985.
George Grie
Modern (Digital) Surrealist
Born on May 14, 1962, George Grie was also born in Russia, but rather during the USSR management. Growing up he did not take on the socially accepted social realism, but rather chose modern surrealism. In 1985, Grie graduated from State University with a BA (honors) degree in Fine Arts Education. He pursued his work through practice and study. Grie moved to Toronto, Canada to become a professional Multimedia Graphic Artist at the age of 35. While there, he joined IBM Corporation and became a lead new-media specialist. He currently resides there with his family. George Grie is known best for his use of 2D, 3D, and matte paintings.
3) As often happens when two famous artists create in the same area of classification, they are compared and contrasted. Mark Chagall was a famous surrealist painter, and George Grie is currently a famous digital surrealist. Having both grown up in Russia, both gained a scholar education. Their families knew the importance of education and the talent of their children’s minds. Like most people, they headed towards greater horizons after some time; Chagall, Paris and Grie, Toronto. Chagall worked with paintings; whereas, Grie has done paintings, but mostly works with digital programs to create his pieces. Using dream-like images and splashes of bold and dreary colors, Mark Chagall created his paintings. Color and flat shapes were used to create the images in his picture, which resulted in the movement and unity of it all. On the other hand, Grie uses pictures that seem to come out of fantasies, and are meant to be thoughtful and wow the audience at the same time. His use of values and contrast bring pop to the digital paintings. Along with mostly cooler colors, Grie uses his mental images and imagination to put to paper (or in his case, computer canvas).

1)Giorgio DeChirico was born in 1888, to an Italian family, raised partly in Greece. Under the spell of a symbolist painter, de Chirico began to produce a series of oneiric cityscapes. In 1911 when he and his teacher were seen in Paris, they were hailed by painters like Picasso. A little while later, de Chirico became one of the heroes of Surrealism. His period of surrealistic work lasted from 1911-1918. He decided that he wanted to become a classicist, and almost succeeded. Giorgio DeChirico will always be known as one of the greatest surrealistic artists.
HP Kolb is a digital surrealistic artist. His paintings are fantasies, that
take you on a journey. He paints beautiful landscapes with bright skies. He likes painting mountains and other things in the outdoors. Kolb also paints pictures of people doing un-realistic things, which shows that he has a huge imagination. HP Kolb is one of the many surrealistic artists that caught my eye.
3)Giorgio: Uses kind of dark colors, draws objects more than people, uses shadows, most objects are smooth
Kolb: Uses bright blue and green colors, draws people in, or around objects, uses textures very well

a)(Traditional)
Marc Chagall was born a Russian in July 7, 1887. He was also known as Mark Zakharovich Shagal. Chagall's highly imaginative and very personal style took shape after he moved to Paris around 1910, where he became associated with the school of Paris. His dreamlike images had some of the characteristics later associated with surrealism. It was because of his boyhood that he made paintings in the way he did. He was so ritch he had his own museum located in Nice, France.He died on Mar. 28, 1985
b)(digital surrealism)
George Grie acquired a classical art education in various fine art institutions before he started his career as a professional fine art painter and graphic artist. Use of a photo realistic technique giving a firm contrast between the light source and dark tonality, which can be seen in his early painting, gives his artworks a graphical appearance. Grie's artworks are strong and powerful images.

Max Ernst was born in 1891 near Cologne. He later moved to Southern France. While there he was sent to a concentration camp. There he was released early by Eluard's appeal. He then moved to the U.S.A. He began exhibiting in 1942. He died in 1976.
Digital Artist: George Grie
George Grie rarely falls off track of his theme, which is fantasy. He likes to make his work look somewhat supernatural. He uses a darker theme, like: Black, dark blue, and dark shades of gray.
Similarites and differences:
George Grie and Max Ernst don't have much in common with they art. Both their art is unreal, but George's work looks as if it could be real. On the other hand Max Ernst's work doesn't look possible. They use different styles. Ernst uses more saturated colors as Grie used less saturated darker colors.

Frida Kahlo lived 1907 to 1954. She was and is still a popular surrealist artist. She said her paintings are her biography because she painted her emotions, people in her life, and very many self-portraits. “I paint self-portraits because I’m the person I know best.” Is a quote from her. Her portraits were unique and had crazy ideas but they all resembled the main idea of the photo some how. She was also a feminist icon. She lived in Mexico City and later married Diego Rivera. Frida began painting her emotions after an accident that broke her leg and pelvis in which she was not able to have children which meant a lot to her. Kahlo is a very well known and respected artist.
Albena Nikolova is a modern digital artist and has been an art student since 2005 in Lithuania. She is currently studying fine arts in “Sts Cyril and Methodius” University of Veliko Turnovo. Her influences are jazz, rock, surrealism, and 20th century literature. She is 21 years old and is interested in all types of art.
Each artist is very different. The time ages are very far apart and the style of art now days is much different than Frida Kahlo’s time. Also the influences are very different as Frida was influenced by love and her accident, Albena is influenced by her likes and intrests. The style is very different but I still think each is resembling themselves with their surrealism.

Biographies:
Marc Chagall: (Traditional)
He was a Russian-born French painter that was born to a Jewish family. His mother encouraged him growing up and she got him into a St. Petersburg art school. He then moved to Paris in 1910 where he was influenced by cubism. He returned home in Vitebsk in 1914 where he married a year later. He traveled all around the world painting and doing varoius other artistic things with artistic people. He didn't think he was a surrealist but he thought of it for 8 years in New York.
Jacek Yerka: (Digital)
Was born in Poland in 1952 and studied graphic arts and fine art prior to becoming a full time artist in 1980. He resisted his teachers at university for not favoring his artwork of unrealistic things very much but the teachers later saw the talent in their student. He claims to paint his artworks under an old, mysterious apple tree that he says has a calming scent. The atmosphere in Poland as well gives inspiration to his artwork. He was overactive as a kid and would draw a lot instead of interacting with colleagues. His artwork is very out there and unrealistic but very surrealistic.
Compare/Contrast:
Their backgrounds are not very similar. Yerka did not travel all over like Chagall did but they are both very successful around the world. They both have childhood inspirations to their artworks though. They both have a great use of color in their artwork and both have things out of the ordinary in their artwork. I think that Chagall is a little more abstract than Yerka because Yerka actually has realistic things but just all put together in a weird way and Chagall just has somewhat of the same color scheme and topics but he just makes it harder to analyze what it is rather than Yerka.

Jon Redfield was born in London Great Britian. He got into photoshop around age 12, when his father brought a copy back from his work. Up until High School, Jon just messed around in the program until he had a chance to get a formal education. He learned how important drawing and perspective skills were in graphic design, so he took classes on them as well. Eventually, Jon created his own style of artwork, this speed-painting. He uses a graphics tablet and pen pressure tools in Photoshop to quickly design rough outlines of scenes in about an our. Currently, Jon is a sophomore at the University of the Arts, in London.
Both Jon and WCoW portray surrealism, although WCoW uses traditional means, such as pencil and paper and Jon uses a graphics tablet. WCoW likes to mess around with abstract ideas, particularly for his portfolio he is creating in college. Jon likes to work with concepts, or dreams and trying to put them on paper. Jon's style is more smooth, trying to be realistic like a photo, which adds a certain quality to his pictures when they are surrealistic. WCoW's drawings are more sketches, with rough outlines, but that adds to the overall flavor of the grunge work.

Artist: Guido Grzinic
Style: Digital Surrealism
Guido Grzinic is a self taught digital surrealistic artist from Melbourne, Australia. He wasn’t much of an artist before, but once technology progressed he was able to express his artistic side through the digital world. One could say Guido Grzinic is a very smart guy: he graduated with a PhD in physics. He is very interested in the new age movement and mystical traditions. He also likes to meditate. He says meditating “allows one to silence the logical mind long enough so that one can hear one's deepest nature.” He takes that to heart and tries to convey that through his artwork. Therefore, the majority of his work probably has some type of deep meaning.
Artist: Marc Chagall
Style: Traditional Surrealism
Marc Chagall was born in a little town in Russia to a poor Hassidic family. Even though he didn’t have much support from his father, he had a lot of support from his mother. Having this support, he went to St. Petersburg in 1907 to study art with Leon Bakst. He grew up around the World War I and II era which he was influenced by. He was also influenced by cubism. His work became very modern. He used different types of media like oils and watercolors. Chagall also did different work like stained glass and mosaics. Marc Chagall was a risk taking and creative man when it came to art.
Guido Grzinic used alot of bright colors which made his work stand out. Marc Chagall used kind of more darker colors that helped change the mood. Both of the artists have a deep meaning behind them and they both used scale as a technique in their work. In Marc Chagall's work it looks more blended and kind of has rythem to it while Guido Grzinic's work is pretty "black and white" so to speak. You can definately tell which is the traditional and which is the digital surrealistic artist. Oveall I like them both, but more so the Guido Grzinic artwork.

Rene Magritte
René François Ghislain Magritte (21 November 1898 - 15 August 1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well-known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images.12
Magritte was born in Lessines, in the province of Hainaut, in 1898, the eldest son of Léopold Magritte, a tailor, and Adeline, a milliner. He began lessons in drawing in 1910. In 1912, his mother committed suicide by drowning herself in the River Sambre. Magritte was present when her body was retrieved from the water. The image of his mother floating, her dress obscuring her face, may have influenced a 1927-1928 series of paintings of people with cloth obscuring their faces, including Les Amants, but Magritte disliked this explanation.[1] He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels for two years until 1918. In 1922 he married Georgette Berger, whom he had met in 1913.

His full name is Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí, he was born in May 11th, 1904 in Spain. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and designer. He not only did paintings based on artistic and poetical creation, but also on what happens in his daily life. He did hand painted dream photographs. In 1937 Dali went to Italy, and that's when he decided to go with the traditional style. From 1940-1955 Dali lived in the US, by then most of his paintings became more religious. Other than painting Dali also liked to work in theatre, sculpture, book illustration, and jewelry design. On January 23rd, 1989 Dali died.
PART NUMBER THREE-
Similarities & Differences:
Dali and Grie may seem like the have a lot in common, just because they both enjoy painting. But how ever, the paintings and such are much different. As the both enjoy some type of dream like paintings, Dali also likes to do self portraits, or what happens in his every day life. However, Grie like's to make paintings that you think could never exist, but yet they seem so real. Dali like's to use a lot of different colors, that are bright and stick out. As Grie likes to use more dark shades, like black, brown and dark blue.

Marc Chagall was born on July 7th, 1887. He was born in Belarus, which was known as Liozna at the time. At a very young age, his mother encouraged his skills in art and managed to get him in a St. Petersburg art school. Later in 1910, he set off for Paris. There he was influenced by Cubism. Four years later he returned home, where he was caught by the first outbreak of World War One. In 1917 he was appointed provincial Commissar for Fine Art, but left after two years to escape the revolutionary dictates of Malevich. For the next several years he moved around and continued to paint and draw surrealism portraits.

Between 1936 to 1940, Giacometti concentrated his sculpting on the human head, focusing on the model's gaze, followed by a unique artistic phase in which his statues became stretched out; their limbs elongated. Obsessed with creating his sculptures exactly as he envisioned through his unique view of reality, he often carved until they were as thin as nails and reduced to the size of a pack of cigarettes, much to his consternation.

Salvador Dali was a Spanish who mastered academic techniques at the academy of fine arts but was later expelled. Later he ended up doing a one-man show on seascapes, and then wrote a screenplay for Buñuel's Un Chien Andalou. Over the next years of his life he ended up producing some of his best work. In the end he broke away from his group because of political views and started to paint soft watches and spider legs for his repetition theme.
George Grie was one of the first digital artists. He doesn't follow everyone else in the political art but more modern. His artwork is based on fantasy, dreamlike settings. In the beginning of his career he went to may fine art institutions. Then becoming a professional graphic artist and painter. Today his artwork is
contemporary artist and seems to be doing well.
Salvador Dali and George Grie are similiar in the way, they both went to fine art institutes, and made pictures in unlikely settings. Their differences would be that salvador dali is a painter, likes to make pictures of real items, but put in a different situation or recreates them. George Grie is a digital artist and has real backgrounds just puts unlikely things in them. He also creates fantasy pictures while Salvador Dali doesn't. George Grie is still alive today and is working on digital art software.

Contemporary surrealism and modern (digital) surrealism definitely have their differences. Even the artists of today and years back have many discrepancies. René Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium in 1898, and began taking art classes at the age of 12. when Magritte was merely 14, his mother committed suicide, but was comforted by a new acquaintance Georgette Berger shortly after, who was to become his wife 9 years later. At the age of 18, he dropped out of high school to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. Most of his works are showed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York by 1965. Rene Magritte died in Brussels in 1967 at the age of 68.

Growing up, she simply wanted to become a hair dresser, but she was always using her obvious creativity along the way writing poetry and making jewelry. Brunas did receive her license to become a cosmetologist, but never went into that arena of work. She began working with her family’s company, and did photography in her free time. Nowadays, she is selling her digitally surreal masterpieces, a career she never would have dreamed of.
Magritte’s works of art are more abstract, and more complex to try to figure out the real message he is trying to get across; whereas Brunas’ works are still surreal, but much easier to comprehend and dictate the meaning of each one. Despite the fact that both were born in Europe, they were both brought into very different times, René born in a time when surrealism was unheard of, and an uncharted sea of fine art that very few had dared to venture into. Angelique was born in a more urban time, when people were encouraged to do what they truly wanted, although she had not always aspired to be an artist as Magritte had. Both artists are very much dissimilar, but mutually grand creators in their own style.

Salvador Dali
He was born in Figueras, Spain, in the year 1904. He died on January 23, 1989, Age 86. Artists Edvard Munch and Pierre Bonnard also died on this day in 1944 and 1947. His famous nickname was Avida Dollars, which means Eager for Money. Quite possible his most famous quote is "The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot." He and his older brother, who died before he was born, had the same name. He also had an intense fear of grasshoppers.
