Pretentious Yet Pointless
In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262]
