Once Shocking, Now Poetic by Ken Johnson
For one thing, unlike so much art of that period, it [Surrealism] looks truly old-fashioned.
Technical innovations have since made possible images more absurd, bizarre and disjunctive than any the original Surrealists could have imagined.
And in all the colors of the rainbow.
Moreover, changes in popular taste have allowed the production of such outrageously transgressive images that Surrealist ones looks positively decorous — if not innocent — by comparison.
