Talk:Neoism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surrealism is not a genre or category of experimental arts. --Daniel C. Boyer 00:04, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] experimental arts

The article doesn't claim that Surrealism is a genre or category of experimental arts, but simply names Surrealism among "experimental arts". There is, IMHO, no point in denying that Surrealism was, next to being a philosophical and political movement, also an art movement. It had promiment members whose contributions to Surrealism were chiefly - or solely - artistic (Max Ernst, Man Ray, Luis Bunuel). To be an artistic and a practical-philosophical movement is no contradiction, especially in the 20th century. To some extent, this is also true for Neoism.

[edit] "To not define Neoism is to be a Neoist."

?:

  • To simultaneously build and bury the myth
  • To understand the question, Neoism: noun or a verb? (And to label it a lie.)

[edit] Introduction

Much of the introduction is very abstract and full of metaphors. I think it's bewildering to someone who has never heard of neoism. Can someone give a more concrete, straightforward intro? Derrick Coetzee 19:53, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
