Requiem for Surrealism

A visual ode to the original Surrealists, the ones who conceived the vision and captured irrational images from the subconscious and dream states. Today the term "Surrealism" is often used loosely, slapped onto any artwork with even the slightest hint of abstraction. This has led to a dilution of the true essence of Surrealism, and few artists today stay true to the movement's ethos and dream-like imagery. This piece is a statement on this issue and my interpretation of it.
