Surrealist Definition Generator

#Surrealism is a literary and artistic movement that originated in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its use of #Dreamlike and #Fantastical #Imagery to express the inner workings of the unconscious mind. As such, it can be a powerful tool for writers looking to break free from the constraints of traditional #Storytelling and tap into their own #Creativity.

One way for a writer to access the surrealist mindset is by using our #SurrealistDefinitionGenerator. This is a tool that randomly generates surrealist definitions for words and phrases.

Once you find a surrealist definition that inspires you, you can use it as a jumping off point for your own #CreativeWriting. You could use the definition as a basis for a #ShortStory, #Poetry, or character or setting in a longer work of fiction.

The #Surrealist Definition Generator can be a valuable tool for writers looking to overcome #WritersBlock and spark ideas.

"The Garland," Thomas Wilmer Dewing, c. 1916.

Dewing (1851-1938) was an American artist, known mostly for his portraits of aristocratic women, mostly in moody or dreamlike settings, and engaged in activities removed from the viewer. Some paintings seem to interact with you when you look at them; Dewing's do not.

There's disagreement about Dewing; some feel his women are showing their independence by actually DOING things, and communicating with each other. Others feel he uses women only as set pieces, as human still lifes. I like Dewing myself, but more for the mood his paintings give me, rather than anything they're portraying or saying. The hazy, dreamlike feel suits the vibe of being awake just before the sun rises, when everything is huge and soft and blurry...and they kind of suit the Edwardian, Merchant-Ivory, Pre-Raphaelite mood I get into when spring comes.

From the National Museum of Asian Art, Freer Collection, Washington, DC. (Yes, it's not Asian. It hung in the Freer Gallery, which was a mix of Asian art with Dewing and Whistler, so it was included.)

An Impressionist scene. A woman in a gauzy green gown sits serenely before a table. In her left hand she holds a garland of flowers that drapes across her lap. She looks down at an open book and a Japanese porcelain bowl on the tabletop.
