Interpret this nonsensical "dream sequence" however you want - I think it is pure brilliance. Compare this scene to Buñuel's other dream sequence in Los Olvidados (1950). Interesting, right?

I am an educator and a writer. I was born in Louisiana and I now live in the Big Apple. My heart beats to the rhythm of "Ain't No Place to Pee on Mardi Gras Day". My style is of the hot sauce variety. I love philosophy sprinkles and a hot cup of café au lait.

Aesthetic Thursday: Surrealist Drawing
 |
| Toyen, Tir VI / The Shooting Gallery, 1939-1940 |
Toyen (née Marie Cerminova) is the name of a Czech artist. This drawing is on exhibit at the Morgan Library in New York City as part of a series of surrealist drawings.
This particular piece is notable for its juxtaposition of childlike imagery against a stark pointillist dessert.
The exhibit is open from January 25 through April 21, 2013.
