Surrealist Kazimierz Dzyga: highlights of his career

Bees--
I'm getting an Error Notice--"Can't Connect To Server" message when I click your link.
Is it me?

Not to be hateful, but I hope it's just you...I'm still connecting to both links, i can't imagine why you're not.

It's not me.

Me neither.

I love this! Thanks, Bees!

Dang!
I'm using Safari with my Mac OSX.2.
Mebee 'tis a mAc thing?

Ah.
Googled Mr. D and went through a french site to see his stuff...
Tres Luscious, non?

Dunno, Dizzy, but could it make a subject sometime for Curious, George?

I'm not really getting the surrealist aspect of this gear. Looks like something you'd paint on the side of a panel van to me.

Which is fine, but not the same thing.

Glad you got through, Diz. I am often enchanted by surrealist art and writing.

(My previous comment referred to the Mac/Safari post -- seems like tech questions would get excellent answers with so many computer-knowledgeable monkeys.)

Wolof, this has some info and links concerning surrealism.

Salvador Dali and Max Ernst were very likely the best-known surrealist painters of the early days, which later left an imprint on SF book covers and album covers, too, way back in the days of vinyl.

Like every once-new movement, surrealism aged, becoming so familiar many of us hardly regard it as unusual, so your comment about van panels, Wolof, is right on the mark.

I want to see a panel van with something one tenth as good as a Max Ernst on the side of it.

Just saying he's close to being my favourite painter/ sculptor is all.

Also, Bees, a link on surrealism that doesn't mention Apollinaire??

*seizes fistful of dust and drops it atop head*

Helas! And mea culpa.

I know a guy called Kazimierz.

It's Polish for "Bowl of cabbage soup".

Can we say "bowl of cabbage soup" on TV? What about in France?
