I agree with the statement but would add one word: Giuseppe Arcimboldo was the first Surrealist painter . The 16th Century Italian needed only two dimensions to create his art.
His 21st Century protege did a commendable job with three dimensions and a set of carving knives.
Arkie McBlue gets extra credit for streamlining the image.
It has been said that

That statement may be as accurate

Perhaps M. Arcimbaldo was hungry one day and in the market, a peasant farmer had applied a fig nose to a cabbage thus planting a seed.
ReplyDeleteWas the peasant farmer Mr. Barnum or Mr. Bailey?
