that's too abstract for me.
is it anger or frustration?
is it the inability to communicate w/ another being at the level you had hoped to, but, now, you can't bring yourself to tell said other being that such a thing bothers you?

I just don't really like surrealism. I respect it, just doesn't really push the imagination far enough for me. It's based around juxtaposing strange objects. Trouble is, as far as Dali's work was concerned, the interpretations were pretty fixed because he was using symbols with fixed psychoanalytical meanings (usually those of Freud). I'm more interested in the stuff which came after, Abstract Expressionism, in which interpretation is blown apart: the symbols are invented, thus interpreted in any way the viewer wants. Think Kandinsky, who's sometimes included in the movement.
