Page "Surrealism" Paragraph 98

In Europe and all over the world since the 1960s, artists have combined Surrealism with what is believed to be a classical 16th century technique called mischtechnik, a kind of mix of egg tempera and oil paint rediscovered by Ernst Fuchs, a contemporary of Dalí, and now practiced and taught by many followers, including Robert Venosa and Chris Mars.

The former curator of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Michael Bell, has called this style " veristic Surrealism ", which depicts with meticulous clarity and great detail a world analogous to the dream world.

Other tempera artists, such as Robert Vickrey, regularly depict Surreal imagery.
