Looking in the dictionaries, we find the following fact:

Surrealism has been aptly named: “on” means direct contact

(oil on canvas, climb on the roof).

This is not surprising, because this new movement was protesting.

He wanted to impose himself on existing art.

Surrealist artists create new pictorial forms

to replace existing natural forms in nature.

The suprarealists, on the other hand, intensify the realism of forms

closest to their source,

because they must retain their original identity to make people believe in their veracity.

Suprarealism is part of contemporary art, while being misunderstood.

The "supra" does not mean superior. “Supra” means: above, beyond.

It means the search for a visible reality by going beyond it

beyond the visible,

in the inner conscious space.

It is important to specify the difference

between surrealism and suprarealism.

Suprarealism is the expression of inner reality, more real than that which

comes to us from the outer world. Compared to surrealism which covers the visible reality,

by imposing a fantastic reality, the imaginary reality is truly existing in each of us.

Indeed, art today cannot ignore its essential function

which is necessarily conscious.

Carl Jung (cgjung.net/oeuvre) has dedicated his life to inner research

of the conscious invisible world.

Suprarealism is at the source of the meaning of our existence.

To understand the essential difference between surrealism and suprarealism,

one needs to clarify the difference between fantasy and imagination.

The fantastic is the result of automatic outpourings of the mind,

therefore uncontrolled, phantasmagorical.

In contrast, imagination is brain activity

in the conscious evocation of visions

in order to construct complex ideas,

suprareal, that is to say beyond sensory perception.

In this case, fantasies, hallucinations, etc. are excluded.

 It is the visionary world that is intuitive and prophetic.

The goal of suprarealism is to activate through the imagination

our internal and external experiences.

It is the "symbiosis" between consciousness and the unconscious,

for the understanding of our conscious activities inseparable link with the unconscious

thanks to the active imagination and the lucid dream.

The difference between suprarealism and surrealism lies in

the process of artistic expression.

To better understand their duality, we must consider the difference

between artistic style and mannerism. The latter is an artist's way of painting,

resembling a permanently used signature.

Mannerism is a repetitive and automatic process.

To diversify his creations, the artist frees the unconscious and chance.

In order to create his way (his signature) he uses deformations that move

the object away from its source.

The source is nature, infinitely diverse, rich and never surpassed by man.

Abstract surrealism appeared later,

it is part of post-modernism.

In most cases, abstract surrealism gets rid of manual labor.

The artists use processes that resemble a playful occupation.

For example, pour the paint into a basin of water and immerse a support in order

to cover it with random stains,

or cover a support of all colors,

then pass a plank from one end to the other to mix them.

There are several post-modern ways, including dumping garbage, and other materials, chosen at random.

However, the lack of meaning was compensated by the launch of concept art.

There is no more artistic achievement, only its conception!!!

Is this really the solution to pretend to find the true way towards

authentic artistic creation?

It is in this context that suprarealism will find its legitimate place.

Surrealism is a free association of impulses.

Suprarealism emerges from the active, and therefore conscious, imagination.

Surrealism combines disparate elements,

while suprarealism conveys messages

by the deliberate effect of a process of conscious thought.

Surrealism gets rid of reason,

while suprarealism uses artistic indicators,

scientific and psychological (rational and logical)

in important revelations and far from single thought.

The Essential Difference Between Suprarealism and Surrealism

is found in the design of the works.

Surrealism is defined as pure psychic automatism. Automatic dictation freed the unconscious.

In this case, there is no search for meaning, since the thought applied to the work is absent.

On the other hand, suprarealism is the resonance of the great themes in the conscious life of the artist.

The development of a work is slow, it evolves gradually.

Its gestation is its true creation.

Then, it comes to life, like a birth of pain and happiness.

The work opens our eyes to the world. What will be his destiny?

No one can tell.

The umbilical cord is cut when the artist's signature is placed.

This elaborate and spontaneous approach at the same time gratifies the suprarealist artist

of a complex life enriched with new emotions.

These dreams are awake, stronger than reality.

Without drugs, he is in an altered state of consciousness. His life

is a real permanent adventure.

This is the essential difference between suprarealism and surrealism.

Suprarealism reflects the inevitable need to search for meaning in art,

but also in life.

However, the last century has especially highlighted the importance of the unconscious in the fields of art, science and philosophy, as well as in psychology. A difference separates the works of Freud and those of Sigrid Yung

“According to the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961),

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustav_Jung) creator of the concept,

the collective unconscious constitutes "a condition or a basis of the psyche in itself, an omnipresent, immutable condition, identical to itself in all places"

Still according to him, instincts and archetypes constitute

the entire collective unconscious.

"I call it 'collective' because, unlike the personal unconscious,

it is not made up of more or less unique individual contents

not reproducing,

but content that is universal and that appears regularly.”

Jung calls the unconscious personal trans identity collective,

because it manifests itself in the archetypes,

another central concept of analytical psychology.

If for Sigmund Freud, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud)

founder of psychoanalysis, the unconscious is characterized by the repression of drives, according to Jung:

“It is inherent in reality and the communication of the conscious and the unconscious [and] allows the individual to become1. »

The collective unconscious and the conscious therefore form, in this vision, a

“together [which] constitutes the psychic totality from which no element can disappear without damage to the individual”

“The poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) wanted to be a visionary, to put himself in a position to perceive the hidden face of things, another reality.

It is by continuing Rimbaud's attempts that Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) sets out to find this invisible and mysterious reality.

The noun "surrealism" appears for the first time in March 1917

in a letter from Guillaume Apollinaire to Paul Dermée:

“All things considered, I do believe it is better to adopt surrealism than supernaturalism.

which I first used.

The word “surrealism” does not yet exist in dictionaries, and it will be easier to handle than supernaturalism already used by MM. the philosophers. »

Surrealism is an artistic movement of the 20th century,

including all the processes of creation and expression using all the psychic forces (automatism, dream, unconscious)

freed from the control of reason and fighting against received values. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surr%C3%A9alisme

In 1924, André Breton defines it in the first Manifesto of Surrealism

as a “pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, or in writing, or in any other way, the real functioning of thought.

Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, outside of any aesthetic or moral concern […]”.

Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of associations neglected until it, in the omnipotence of dreams, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to permanently ruin all other psychic mechanisms and to replace them.

in solving the main problems of life1 (20th century). "

Surrealists seek to liberate the unconscious that is featured in their approaches

artistic and literary.

Their inspiration is nourished by dreams, where the unconscious rules in all its splendour.

Dali's dream images are very intriguing and he carefully keeps this enigmatic aspect to them.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Homme_invisible_(Dal%C3%AD)#Description

Surrealist works are very personal and intimate since they speak of the unconscious inner SELF.

It is a similarity between unconscious surrealism and conscious suprarealism: they are two inseparable facets of the personality, not only of the artist, but of everyone.

From surrealism to contemporary art there is only one step. Many contemporary artists have followed the trend of nonsense inherited from surrealism (ephemeral art, installations etc).

This phenomenon is legitimate, it is the expression of artistic freedom, the highlighting of the personality of the artist, independently of his work.

The example of Christo and Jeanne-Claude shows us this.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo_et_Jeanne-Claude

The Christos believe in the seduction of meaningless creation. "Art today plays with information, propaganda, advertising, packaging and presentation, which is exactly Christo's work. »

These works are only part of the art. Packing the Pont Neuf does not express its beauty of creation which, for its part, knows periods of reflection, creation, realization and wonder, engraved in its memory. To wrap it up is to change its appearance.
