Art & The Surreal - Parsons School of Design

​

In the following paper, the surrealist works "Nadja" by André Breton and "Story of the Eye" by Georges Bataille are compared and contrasted. It looks at the ways in which the two writers convey their views on women, sex, and love. 

​

Introduction:

Through a variety of communication techniques, both readings offer a fresh perspective on love, sex, and women. Breton and Bataille tell the tale from a first-person point of view and adopt a personal perspective from it. Everyone of us has a unique perspective on love, which encompasses both sex and women. But, because everything stems from the same basis, no matter how flawed someone's perception and understanding may be, they ultimately relate to one another.
