http://picturingbooks.imaginarylands.org/palette/style/surrealism.html SURREALISM is defined by imaginative details and startling or bizarre images. Images have a dreamlike marked by startling shifts in objects and people. Artists whose work reflect these characteristics include: Aljoscha Blau, Anthony Browne, Julia Gukova, David Wiesner.

A small masterpiece.

Maar dan ontdekken de dieren dat de frambozen over de grond kruipen. De mieren zijn de dieven! De dieren hebben Julia vals beschuldigd.
