“A perverse bourgeois calculus of prosperity and suffering had prevailed. The rationalization of life had made it cheap and easily disposed of. To the #surrealists, this culture sought not to inspire but to sort and arrange the human condition into a gray, predictable pattern.” #Surrealism #Marxism #Socialism #History #Histodon #AgainstTheCurrent https://againstthecurrent.org/atc233/beyond-reality-on-a-century-of-surrealism/

#introduction Hi. I like #drawing and #painting stuff and experimenting with different #media and #art styles. I also #illustrate a free humourous e-zine (Once Upon A Crocodile), am a fan of #anime and other #cartoons as well as the #Surrealists.
