Under, over, uber, uncanny realism – sur-realism – it's life as we know it, with a twist, and a shout. Just what makes an umbrella, a sewing machine and a dissecting table, so alluring and appealing, especially in cool weather. After impressionism, surrealism is sure to boost the blockbuster line. You can count on men in bowler hats. Just ask Thomas Crown. Yes it's the ISMs, featuring this week…surrealism, just like realism only crunchy.
