Abstract
Realism painters often masticated nature, frequently utilizing the lives of the peasantry as a general theme. These true depictions of everyday lives, which require the origin of things without exaggeration, abandon the former genres' imagination of their real lives. In this essay, I connect Deconstructionism and Surrealism paintings, attempting to answer the question: how does Surrealism find its Beatrice? To consecrate the theoretical grounding, I present ideas borrowed from Derrida and Freud. As for case studies, I then elaborate on how specific paintings were influenced by Deconstructionism to conclude the incremental development of art history.
