"Surrealism: An archaic term. Formerly an art movement. No longer distinguishable from everyday life"

- Brad Holland

About this Quote

This quote by Brad Holland suggests that the term "Surrealism" is no longer appropriate in today's culture. It implies that the art activity of Surrealism, which was prominent in the early 20th century, has come to be so widespread that it is no longer appreciable from daily life. This could be taken a commentary on the way in which art has ended up being a lot more easily accessible and also incorporated into our lives, and how the boundaries in between art and also reality have come to be obscured. It might likewise be viewed as an objection of the way in which art has become commercialised and commodified, and just how the initial meaning of Surrealism has actually been shed. Eventually, this quote recommends that the term "Surrealism" is no more appropriate in today's society, and that the art movement has actually become indistinguishable from day-to-day life.
