Surrealists Portray Their Own Muddled Minds, Mattern Says
Surrealist paintings show just how disorganized people's minds are, according to Karl Matterm, associate professor of art.
"Dali is an admitted paranoid and the rest are men over 60 trying to go back to childish imagery."
These statements referred to the latest art exhibit in Spooner-Thayer museum with the title, "Mystery in Pain," consisting of fifteen paintings by artists of the surrealist school.
Mr. Mattern says that all surrealist paintings stem from a Dutch painter, Hyronimus Bosch, who painted "Heaven, Hell, and all the little devils".
"Don't try to find the meaning of the picture in the title. They give you a hint, but when you try to find it in the picture it isn't there," Mr. Mattern said.
An example of the kind of picture in the exhibit is Dali's "Imperial Violets." A telephone is the main object, with a few dead fish at the side.
inns type of painting is practically dead. The average man won't stand for being shocked for no reason," according to Mr. Matterm.
Campus Gets Ready For Commencement
