Wonderfully proto-surreal book illustration found by the great folks at @publicdomainrev (highly recommend a follow of their feed)
“J. J. Grandville, A Promenade through the Sky, from Le Magasin pittoresque, June 1847.⠀
⠀
With its dreamlike inversions and kaleidoscopic cast of anthropomorphic objects, animals, and plants, the world of French artist J. J. Grandville is at once both delightful and disquieting. Read Patricia Mainardi’s essay “Grandville, Visions, and Dreams” exploring the unique work of this 19th-century illustrator now recognised as a major precursor and inspiration to the Surrealist movement”

Chances are Theo Jansen is probably on a beach tinkering, modifying and improving on a wind powered StrandBeest kinetic sculpture right now.
Says the artist: “Sometimes things go right, most of the times things go wrong”. Jansen’s unrelenting commitment to process can be seen in a recent documentary of his work (see last slide), which is now streaming. We saw it for free on Kanopy through our local library.

Your Friday feelings can’t protect you from obscure surrealist Cold War era animations from the folks at @an.i.ma.tion
A clip from “Ruĉak (The Meal)” (1978), directed by Zlatko Bourek, Croatian painter, puppeteer, and surrealist filmmaker known for blending folklore, trauma, and grotesque symbolism.
