Title A name given to the resource Surrealist Composition with Invisible Figures Subject The topic of the resource <a title="Surrealist Composition with Invisible Figures" href="http://www.salvador-dali.org/dali/coleccio/en_50obres.php?ID=W0000236">Surrealist Composition with Invisible Figures</a> Description An account of the resource Like most other items in this collection, Dali's painting deals with the idea of identity and body. Dali leaves out bodies completely from this composition, which forces us to look at what makes identity that surrounds us. This can be directly related to the idea presented in Woolf's Orlando, since the argument can be made that Orlando's gender is simply a product of the environment surrounding her at the time. While she is male, the environment made her so, and while she is female, the environment also made her so.

Title A name given to the resource The Wonders of Nature (Les Merveilles de la nature), 1953 Subject The topic of the resource The Wonders of Nature (<a title="Wonders of Nature" href="http://moreart4all.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/05-rene-magratte-mca.jpg">Les Merveilles de la nature</a>), 1953 Description An account of the resource This painting by Magritte, who is one of the most well-known and influential surrealists, deals with body image and identity. As we are connecting novels to higher art forms, this particular piece made me think of Orlando by Virginia Woolf. One cannot actually tell if the fish people are male or female, though it is likely there is one male and one female, but regardless of this, they appear to be in love. Orlando deals with the importance of gender in being a part of the human experience, so these two seemed very linked.

Title A name given to the resource Sheherazade, 1950 Subject The topic of the resource <a title="Sheherazade, 1950" href="http://www.mattesonart.com/Data/Sites/1/magritte/Sheherazade%201950.jpg">Sheherazade</a>, 1950 Description An account of the resource Of the novels we read from the 20th Century in Europe, the most surrealist of them was Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. This painting of Magritte's reminded me of the book because of how fragmented an identity can become. First, Annette is a piece of her mother, then a piece of the convent in which she resides, then a piece of her marriage, then a piece of Rochester's English manor. Annette, though telling her story through the words of Rhys, is constantly in fragments of her own identity. She is always missing something that makes her uniquely herself. Annette's mother was known for her undying beauty, which is also something addressed in Magritte's painting. Just as Annette was reduced to being a piece of something else, so was her mother. Her mother was only able to be viewed as an object, like this painting of Magritte's implies, which makes Annette's identity even mroe fragmented.
