Art is never getting old

Tené Magritte is one of the most enigmatic masters of the 20th century. The Belgian surrealist painter chose as his motto; “The visible is not the same” and bizarrely r combined in his works ordinary objects that surround us in everyday life with images familiar to everyone from myths and works of literature and painting. At first glance there is no logical connection in this combination, it violates the usual order of things. Magritte invites the viewer to fantasize, dream and wonder, creating his own garden of illusion. The world of his images is a world of fantasies, sometimes quite difficult for concrete understanding. His paintings are peculiar philosophical formulas, the essence of which is defined by objects interacting with each other – unexpectedly combined, but incompatible in ordinary life. The paintings of René Magritte are like advertising posters; the images he created have forever entered the mass culture. He is loved and quoted by everyone from fashion designers to Hollywood filmmakers, from musicians to bankers. Magritte's portrait was featured on the 500 Belgian franc bill.

The Belgian's art is especially precious to advertising agencies, which never tire of exploiting the iconic characters of his work; watches, underpants, shoes, plates and even airbuses are decorated with them. Critics say Magritte was the first to make Surrealism acceptable to the masses, which ensured his fame and popularity. And this is partly true. If you compare the Belgian with a colleague in the genre – Salvador Dali, you can clearly see that Magritte is indeed devoid of provocative characteristic of Dali. Magritte's nudes are schematic, serving only a demonstrative function, to guide the viewer into the world of the painting.

Aykut Aydogdu is an artist from Istanbul who creates unusual paintings in which fantasy intertwines with reality.

Tenderness and avant-garde, sensuality and brightness of images are closely intertwined in Aykut Aydogdu's works, which creates a feeling of complete immersion in the world of augmented reality.

Fantasy reality, beautiful and extremely colorful. Today his portfolio contains many diverse works, performed on a commercial basis. Among them are covers of popular magazines, posters and movie posters. His surreal figurative works mainly focus on the dilemmas of everyday life in modern man. On his doubts and experiences, fears and hopes. Aikut Aydogdu has developed his own unique style of figurative art, creating surreal, enigmatic illustrations that reflect the most intense and incomprehensible feelings that haunt the hearts of those who suffer or have already suffered because of love. It's hard to believe he hasn't made a single brushstroke in creating his work. He is a typical surrealist, and his portfolio is vast and varied in themes and styles. The artist let the viewer decide for himself what is real and what is not. The creative individuality of the author is strong and vivid, it has preserved its identity, resisting the temptation to imitate the modern legislators of surrealist painting.

alvador Dali is one of Spain's most famous artists and has become an integral part of world pop culture. He became famous not only for his art, but also for his carefully constructed scandalous image, his eccentric behavior, and his defiant statements about himself and his surroundings. Characteristics of Salvador Dali's work: he is best known for his Surrealist paintings, although he worked in different styles – beginning with Impressionism and Cubism in his youth and ending with Neoclassicism in his later period. He was a jack-of-all-trades: he created illustrations, advertising logos and interiors, wrote memoirs, screenplays and artwork, published cookbooks and lithographs. He was not shy about borrowing and numerous allusions to the paintings of his favorite masters – Velázquez, Vermeer and others. Dali creates a new mythology – not a mythology of the past, but a dramatic mythology of the future; color, bizarre forms, the very movement of lines have a special symbolic meaning with him. He composes monstrous, terrifying, and illuminating anticipatory compositions. Through piles of associative pictorial rows, through the temptations of invented and existing vices and sins, from the abyss of despair and fear, transforming and spiritually purifying himself, he seeks to help man get rid of disbelief and find the way to the true faith. Judgments, actions, paintings of Salvador Dali, all carried a light touch of madness. This man was not just a surrealist painter, he was the epitome of surrealism.
