Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket (1874), by James Abbott McNeill Whistler
About which the critic John Ruskin wrote:
I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.

Too bad I couldn't find an exemplar:
Somewhere beyond the perfomances of Chang Tsao were those of the late T'ang eccentrics, who practices techniques every bit as outlandish as thos of the New York Action Painters of the 1950's and 1960's. One man painted with his hair dipped in ink: another danced to music, like Mathieu, facing in one direction and wielding his brush in another. A T'ang text tells of Wang Mo ("Ink Wang"; fl. 785-805), who would get drunk and then, laughing and singing, spatter ink onto the silk and stamp it with his feet and smear it with his hands. Another, like Jackson Pollock, poured ink and colour onto strips of silk that covered the floor, than hand someone sit on a sheet, which he dragged round and round, making great swirls and swashes...Of course, none of the works of Ink Wang and his like have survived. They were in any case always considered freakish and not to be imitated: moreover, it is impossible to imagine a later student actually copying them.

“Clearly, the discontinuity [the founding art historians] sense is not the familiar break signified by Manet and impressionism; rather, it is a question of why painters as diverse as Ingres, Overbeck, Courbet, Delaroche, Meissonier, von Kobell, Millais, Gleyre, Friedrich, Cabanel, Gerome, and Delacroix (to name only a few) together incarnated a surface of mimetic and figural representation apparently similar to but disquietingly unlike what had preceded it.”

There's a lot of stuff that would pass for surrealism, the Ernst collage novels maybe, in emblem books, allegorical frontispieces (Vico's New Science), hermetic treatises. This kind of thing:
http://longstreet.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83542d51e69e20128756fb66f970c-500wi
Bosch as per upthread and Durer in eg Melancolia the masters of this stuff I guess.
Looking at a lot of things together by some super-specialised Dutch Little Masters makes it look like they're in an abstraction-shapes-repetition theory-world: see Saenredam's church interiors.

The art doesn't quite do it for me - the big m Warner article in the LRB got me excited to look at him but then most of what I saw was a bit disappointing - like he's a fine observer trying to grasp a strange world, and does have an interesting (bit northern, stiff) style, but I was expecting Piranesan gothic nightmare machines, or more hypertortoises.

there kindof is nothing but a theoretical objection wrt this thread. The past was fn weird. Idg y modernism has some strange license on weirdness. Modernism raided plenty of styles of non-western and pre-renaissance art but its only in the context of 20th century modernism that avant garde makes sense as an ideology, that is the violent break w/ tradition as a means of progress. If you reframe these things as "avant garde anachronism" you basically fetishize the outre elements as an ahistorical prefigurement of the conclusions that art history has retrospectively drawn.
It might be interesting to note that there are discontinuities in the perspective of Ingres paintings that has led some viewers to think that either he worked from sources that used lensed based drawing styles or he used lenses or concave mirrors himself. To be like "omg he is inventing photorealism" completely misunderstands Ingres and photorealism.
― plax (ico), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link
also, most of this stuff is presumably pre-art-history, that is pre wolflinn and artists did not conceptualise art history in the same linear chronologies that we do now (therefor break w/ tradition made a lot less sense as a historical move)
