🏡PLP's Bazaar of the Bizarre: A Study Hall for the Deviant and Delightful

Alright, um, "study buddies" 👀 and art lovers 💘

Do you have any favorite SURREALIST or IMPRESSIONIST art?
I had to create a surrealist piece of art (which I will not be sharing here) but it got me thinking that of all the ISMs (surrealism, impressionism, modernism, post-modernism, cubism, etc), I think Surrealism has always been my favorite. It speaks to the spooky weirdo in me.

I enjoy surrealism in the same way I enjoy most pop-art. Most of it doesn't provoke emotion in the same way that Dutch Baroque or German Romanticism does for me

I'll throw down a few names for this one.

For dystopian surrealism HR Giger is probably a bit obvious but I'd like to also suggest the equally but different dystopian surrealism of Zdzisław Beksiński.

For impressionism, I've always been drawn to the works of John Singer Sargent

and Anders Zorn (trivia: Zorn has a palette setup named after him)

Thank you! The John Singer Sargent particularly speaks to me. 🐊
