Luigi Pretin Art
Luigi Pretin was born in Chioggia, Italy on June 8, 1938. A very young part in Morocco, then he went to Portugal, then to Spain and finally, he arrived in France. This nation had a great influence on him. In Paris, they soon ranked him among the research painters. In the Parisian environment, he is therefore acquainted with many artists, including the master's De Chirico and Salvador Dali. And it is precisely Dalì who has great persuasive power over him; so much so that for a certain period he embraces the "Surrealism" that then abandons to elaborate an original painting in which the dream and the reality are merged by merging the oneiric element and the matter. In December 2007, in Paris, Luigi Pretin ranked 3rd in the First International Eiffel Trophy. After the Parisian experience, he returned to Italy to settle first in Turin, then in Albissola, where he opened a new studio, continuing to maintain contacts with Italian and foreign galleries.

Surrealist Landscape with Feathered Object in Acrylic, Paper, and Gold Leaf
Located in Soquel, CA
Surrealist Landscape with Feathered Object in Acrylic, Paper, and Gold Leaf
Vibrant and colorful surrealist landscape by Oregon artist Hugh Webb (American, b. 1940). The main subject of this piece is a large Y-shaped object that appears to be covered in feathers created out of small ovals of paper. The landscape is comprised of a striped ground, with wispy blue tree-like object emerging from holes in the ground. Squares of pastel blue, teal, and pink float throughout the scene. The background is made of layers of distressed gold leaf.
Unsigned, but was acquired from a collection of the artist's work.

Characters in a Surrealist Landscape
By Lucien Coutaud
Located in London, GB
'Characters in a Surrealist Landscape', oil on canvas, by Lucien Coutaud (1931). A couple entwine with the male character seemingly in grief, the female not returning with a comforting embrace. In the distant landscape a sole character meanders. This painting seems to be a creation of the artist's dreams, perhaps reflecting events in his personal life. It seems there is a relationship problem. In the world of Surrealists, there is a focus on the unconscious mind through Freudian methods of free association, trance-like states or dreams. Some Surrealists practiced psychic 'automatism' which was automatic writing or drawing, turning off the conscious mind and producing streams of words or images directly from the unconscious. In unlocking the unconscious in this way, Surrealism was individually expressed (Ref. 'The Short Story of Art...
