Surrealism was a movement that was very creative and created a big buzz in the world right from 1920. But surrealism made itself involved in various forms that include politics, music, film and literature. Not only as an art, it created an impact but also as a philosophy and a statement that created a huge revolution. Surrealism was a response to the World's participation in the First World War which turned out to be a big terror for the people.
Andre Breton was the one to lead Surrealism and some of the writers and artists who encouraged surrealism were Roger Vitrac, Louis Aragon, Simone Breton, Philippe Soupault, Gala luard, Paul luard, Max Ernst, Benjamin Pret, Man Ray, Ren Crevel, Hans Arp, Robert Desnos, Georges Malkine, Jacques Baron, Jacques Baron, Michel Leiris, Max Morise, Georges Limbour, Marcel Noll, Antonin Artaud, Pierre Naville, Joan Mir, Jacques Prvert, Andr Masson, Yves Tanguy, Raymond Queneau.
Surrealism entered into films. Surrealist films that got released were L'ge d'Or from 1930, Un chien andalou from 1929, Entr'acte from 1924, Le sang d'un pote form 1930, La Coquille et le clergyman from 1928.
In order to be more fiction oriented, surrealism was twisted got characterized as elements that were more realistic. Surrealism connected abstract and reality. It acts as a cross between fantasy and reality. Surrealism was required to play with human psyche. Artists who briefed about this art were Grgoire Michonze, Valentine Hugo, Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dali, Alberto Giacomett, Mret Oppenheim, Luis Buuel, Enrico Donati and Toyen.
Surrealism and its political philosophy that was carried throughout its art spread from Europe to North America, the Caribbean, Central America, South America and parts of Asia. It was extremely popular throughout Latin America and it impacted Argentina the most with many great surrealist artists coming from the said country. Surrealism began in the 20s in Europe and apparent in the Americas until the late 60s. There have been major art exhibitions which highlighted surrealism and are very noteworthy.
Surrealist Art exhibitions named La Peinture Surrealiste was held in 1925 and France was the country where it took place. In 1926, Galerie Surraliste exhibition took place. There was an exhibition in London named London International Surrealist exhibition in the year 1936. Actually there was a rise in the number of exhibitions held in the 1930s. Exhibitions like Fantastic art, Dada and Surrealism were held in New York in 1936. In Paris, the International Surrealist Exhibition took place in 1938. Forties saw some exhibition like the First Papers of Surrealism and the International Surrealist Exhibition in 1949 took place in New York was also held in Paris in 1959. Surrealist Intrusion in the Enchanters' Domain turned out to be the last exhibition in New York in 1960.
Surrealism gave out a message that had all the thoughts from Marxism, Socialism and Communism. It created a big impact on the world not for its new art style but also for the messages it conveyed in the artwork.
The Casualties Early Years
On January 22, 1968, the NBA awarded expansion franchises to an ownership group from Phoenix and one from Milwaukee.
The primary investors in the Phoenix franchise at its inception had close ties to Tucson, Arizona's second largest city. They were:
? Richard Bloch, a Southern California investment broker/real estate developer and former Tucson resident (no relation to the Richard Bloch who was the co-founder of tax preparation provider H&R Block).
? Karl Eller, owner of a major outdoor advertising company and one of the Phoenix area's most influential business leaders at that time. He was a former football player for The University of Arizona;
? Donald Pitt, a Tucson-based attorney;
? Don Diamond, Tucson-based real estate investor who eventually replaced Eller on the ownership managing team.
All four men were alumni of The University of Arizona. According to the history section of the Suns website, other investors in the Suns included prominent entertainers such as Andy Williams and Henry Mancini.
According to the Suns website, the original logo was designed by Stanley Fabe, owner of a Tucson printing company, for $200.
The new Suns ownership group hired former Chicago Bulls executive Jerry Colangelo to be general manager (he was 28 years of age when he took the position). Colangelo in turn hired Johnny "Red" Kerr (as of this writing a broadcaster with the Bulls) to be the first head coach of the Suns. Kerr was forced to resign midway through the 1969-70 season, and Colangelo himself coached a few games. Cotton Fitzsimmons replaced Colangelo as Suns coach for the 1970-71 season. He took the team to their first winning season, with a final record of 48-34.
Fitzsimmons would return to the head coaching job in the late 1980s; he would go on to be greatly loved by Suns fans, wildly popular (and successful) as a coach, broadcaster and executive with the Suns organization.
In the 1970s the Suns experienced mild success, combining the talents of such players as Dick Van Arsdale (The Original Sun), his twin brother Tom Van Arsdale, Hall of Famer Connie Hawkins, Len "Truck" Robinson, Alvan Adams, and center Neal Walk. In 1976, the year the movie Rocky was released, the Suns proved to be a real-life basketball version of Rocky. They finished the season with 42 wins and 40 losses, but shockingly they beat the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors in the playoffs and went on to play the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, giving the Celtics a tough battle before falling in 6 games. Game 5 was a triple-overtime classic that is considered by many to be the greatest game in NBA history, with Suns forward Gar Heard hitting a buzzer beating rainbow jump shot ("The Shot") to send the contest into the third overtime at Boston Garden.
In the late ?70s and early ?80s, the Suns enjoyed several successful seasons, making the playoffs for 8 seasons in a row. Problems arose however, on and off court, in the mid ?80s. In 1987 the Maricopa County Attorney's Office indicted 13 people on drug-related charges, three of whom were active Suns players (James Edwards, Jay Humphries and Grant Gondrezick). These indictments were partially based on testimony from star player Walter Davis, who was given immunity. No defendants ever went to trial: two of the players went into a prosecution diversion program, while another received probation. Nevertheless, the scandal, although now perceived in many respects to be a witchhunt, tarnished the reputation of the franchise both nationally and within the community. The scandal did provide an opening for general manager Colangelo to lead a group that bought the team from its owners for $44 million, a record at that time.
With a drug scandal and the loss of promising young center Nick Vanos, who was killed in the crash of Northwest Airlines Flight 255 after taking off from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the franchise was in turmoil on and off the court. The Suns? luck began to turn around in 1987, however, with the acquisition from the Cleveland Cavaliers of Kevin Johnson, Mark West, and Tyrone Corbin for popular power forward Larry Nance. In 1988, Tom Chambers came over from Seattle as the first unrestricted free agent in NBA history, Jeff Hornacek a 1986 second round pick continued to develop, "Thunder" Dan Majerle was drafted with the 14th pick in the draft, which they obtained from Cleveland in the Kevin Johnson trade, and the team began a 13-year playoff streak. Kurt Rambis was added from the Charlotte Hornets in 1989, and the team (coached by Fitzsimmons), in a shocking upset, beat the Los Angeles Lakers in 5 games that season before falling to the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals. In 1991, The Suns stormed to a 55-27 record, however they lost in the first round to the Utah Jazz 3-1. In 1992, the Suns cruised to a 53-29 record during the regular season. While having sent four players to the all-star game in the last two years (Chambers, Johnson, Hornacek and Majerle), the Suns were poised to make a serious run at the NBA Finals. They showed their poise by sweeping the San Antonio Spurs in 3 games. But once again the Suns fell in five games to the Trail Blazers in the conference semifinals, however the series was punctuated by an electrifying game 4, in which the Suns lost in double overtime 153-151. The Suns were yet again denied a shot at a title, but in subsequent seasons enjoyed even greater success than ever before.
