example of Surrealism in art



from: arthit.ru

I feel this is a very pretty and interesting example of surrealism. I like how a small portion of each hand peaks up, out of the water, like the green island in the center. It reminds me of how it might have looked when God formed the Earth. The hand also seem to be almost supporting/ holding up the island, and also moving the current of the water around it. I also really like the colors used in this painting, and how the water just kind of fades into the horizon; there really isn't much of a line there. Overall, this painting gives me a peaceful feeling.
