surrealism

Many people think Alice in Wonderland is very surreal so i decided to look into some surreal artists.

I have look at Salvador Dali's oil painting spellbound, witch was created for Alfred Hitchcock's 1945 Hollywood movie.

 This is the oil painting 

And this is a shot from the movie.

I like these two images as it look like your been watched, the eyes are over the people watching them like they have a secret and they think everyone is watching them but there just been paranoid. this image links with my project because there is always something watching Alice even the flowers and when she is in her reality world she is been watched by every one and she feels trapped and enclosed a bit like when you have a secret and you think everyone knows and you become paranoid, so in this movie maybe the eyes ain't really there and its just a figment of there imagination.

I have also been looking at the work of Rene Magritte 

I love this images as you can see there is supposed  to be a face of a women there but you can only see the eyes and lip witch are the two main things males tend to be notice first on a women's face. the rest of the face has been  replaced with pearls, pearls are expensive so this could mean that the women in the image valued her looks and liked to wear expensive things. in the background there is a broken tower with doves flying out of it this could resemble freedom and the glass of water at the side of the face could be the tiers that she has cried over the years and now she has broken free (the doves and the tower) she has realised that it was a waist. 

The images link with my project because the face is like the Cheshire cats as he always goes in visible and tends to just leave his eyes and mouth.
