ESSAY ON: Peter Blume: The Rock (1948)

Number of Pages 1

This research paper: (5 pp) It has been suggested that Peter Blume was one of the first Americans to favor surrealism, in his mature work. He has also been labeled a "magic realist," which has a nice ring to it but doesn't really tell us much. In this discussion we will look at his 1948 painting, "The Rock," a reaction both against the bombing of Hiroshima, and a tribute to the human's tenacity to survive man-made disaster. Bibliography lists 7 sources plus 1 visual (copy of painting discussed.)
