I think that most surrealist paintings I have come in touch with almost
always have their roots in reality (think Dali, Magritte). The twist is that
reality is represented trough a mode that is unconventional and never
considered before to be an widely accepted way to treat widely accepted
works. I believe that is why Dali's work looks like a reproduction of
dreams - where everything takes its own forms, shapes and content. That is
also why the imagery in Paul Eluard's poems is so different. Of course I am
not in the position to critique the works of Mr. Hill but I truly enjoyed
"Madam Butterfly", which I find as a wonderful surrealist piece. Thanks for
pointing this site out :)
