Author and critic Michael Antman joins Joe and Mark for a wide-ranging discussion about visual arts and writing.
Michael started out as a poet. After switching to fiction, he's had two novels published by indie presses: Cherry Whip and Everything Solid Has A Shadow. He likes to explore themes of self-knowledge in his work, or, more accurately, "the lack of self-knowledge."
The best surrealism combines common elements of the world with the feelings we have inside our dreams. Surrealism is unexpected but never absurd, Michael says. "It makes tremendous psychological sense at a deep level."
At the age of twelve, visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, Michael first encountered the work of René Magritte. "It blew the top of my head off!" he relates.
