Remedios Varo 1908–1963

Špansko-meksička From Anglès Para-surrealizam On Wikipedia in 19 of 32 languages

U tišini svog ateljea, Remedios Varo radila je sa pedantnošću koja je odjekivala u tehničkim crtežima njenog oca, hidrauličnog inženjera. Njeno odrastanje u Anglesu u Španiji pružilo je temelj dualnosti. Kroz svet je koračala radoznalim okom, upijajući pejzaže svojih čestih selidbi i formalno obrazovanje stečeno na Kraljevskoj akademiji lepih umetnosti San Fernando u Madridu.

Доротеја Таннинг 1910–2012

Američka From Гејлсбург Surrealizam On Wikipedia in 20 of 32 languages

Doroteja Margaret Tanin, rođena 25. avgusta 1910. godine u Galesburgu, Ilinois, potekla je iz loze švedskih imigranata, nasleđujući tihu čvrstinu koja će suptilno podupirati njenu smelu i maštovitu umetnost. Kratko boravište na Knox koledžu između 1ud28. i 1930. godine ustupilo je mesto privlačnosti Čikaga, a potom, 1935. godine, i vibrantnoj energiji Njujorka. Izložbe koje je organizovao Žiljen Levi 1944. i 1948. godine pružile su platformu njenom jedinstvenom glasu.

Čileanac From Santiago ['Surrealizam', 'Apstraktni ekspresionizam'] On Wikipedia in 15 of 32 languages

Џозеф Корнел 1903–1972

Amerikanac From Најак Asemblaž, Nadrealizam On Wikipedia in 14 of 32 languages

Jozef Kornel, rođen na Badnji dan 1903. godine u Njaku, Njujork, ostaje jedna od najjedinstvenijih i najdublje potresnijih figura američke umetnosti. Iako se uglavnom školovao sam, izloženost rastućem nadrealističkom pokretu u Njujorku tokom 1930-ih godina pokazala se ključnom. Sanljiva logika i prihvatanje iracionalnog koje je pronašao u radovima umetnika poput Maksa Ernsta i Renea Magrita duboko su rezonirali sa njegovom sopstvenom sklonošću poetskom montažama.

23of 86

Ernst Fuchs 1930–2015

Austrijski From Беч Fantastični realizam On Wikipedia in 16 of 32 languages

Ernst Fuchs (1930–2015) bio je mnogo više od običnog slikara; bio je multidisciplinarni vizionar koji je utkao niti skulpture, arhitekture, muzike i poezije kako bi stvorio jedinstven, halucinogen univerzum. Rođen u Beču tokom perioda dubokih istorijskih promena, Fuchs je iz ruševina posleratne ere izronio ne sa očajem, već sa neugasivom žudnjom za uzvišenim. Srce Fuksove baštine leži u njegovoj ulozi temeljnog stuba Bečke škole fantastičnog realizma.

Пол Делво је došao na svet 23. septembra 1897. godine u Antheitu, mestu u belgijskoj pokrajini Liž, koje je kasnije postalo deo Vanzea. Ovaj kretanje između provincialnog pejzaža Liža i urbanog centra Brisela pružilo je temeljni kontrast njegovim kasnijim, jedinstvenim opsesijama. Živeo je dug život, ostavši aktivan u svojim umetničkim težnjama sve do smrti 20. jula 1994. godine.

Džim Voren se izdvaja kao jedinstvena figura u savremenoj ilustraciji, prepoznatljiv prvenstveno po svojim očaravajućim dizajnima korica knjiga koji neprimetno spajaju nadrealizam i fantasy realizam. Rođen 24. novembra 1949. godine u Long Beachu, Kalifornija, Vorenov umetnički put počeo je organski – detinjasto fasciniranje slikarstvom procvetalo je u doživotnu posvećenost stvaranju sanjivih slika koje prenose gledaoce u fantastična carstva.

Oleksandr Aksinin 1949–1985

Luigi Serafini born 1949

Italijan From Rim Futuistička umetnost

Luigi Serafini, rođen u Rimu 1949. godine, zauzima jedinstveno mesto u savremenoj mašti, delujući istovremeno kao arhitekta fizičkih struktura i kartograf nemogućih svetova. Odgajan unutar umetničke loze, Serafinijev rani život bio je prožet nijansama forme i dizajna, što je postavio temelje koji će mu kasnije omogućiti da premosti jaz između rigorozne logike arhitekture i fluidnog haosa nadrealističke fantazije.

From Торуњ

Rođen 1952. godine u Torunju, u Poljskoj, Jacek Yerka izrastao je u porodici duboko posvećenoj umetnosti.
