Surrealistic Sunday


 If you are a regular reader of The Pagan Sphinx, you know that I often stretch the true definition of Surrealism by including in the feature Surrealistic Sunday, examples of work that is not authentically surrealistic, but contains some visual elements that remind me of surrealism. This oil painting by Diego Rivera is one such example that I ran across recently in Art Knowledge News. 

Rivera, is in fact, better known for his flirtation with Cubism than anything Surrealistic. Though one of his wives, the iconic Frida Kahlo, was pronounced a surrealist by the chief founder of the movement, Andre Breton.

"When the Amherst sphinx styled herself a pagan, she meant she didn’t believe in the biblical God. What sort of deity, if any, she did believe in is hard to pinpoint."
