WORLD SCHOLARS CUP QUICK REVIEW 2025-2026
The Strolling Saint/Pedro Meyer (1991)
A photograph depicting a surreal street scene with an overcast sky. A saintly figure in
white floats above the pavement and casts a shadow on the wall running down the
street. A woman and child are walking up some steps whilst, on the right of the
image, a man is standing under some plastic sheeting.
Late Visitors to Pompeii/Carel Wilink (1931)
This is a blend of metaphysical, magic realism and surrealism that situates suited
male figures in a ruined classical city under a smoking volcano.

various times—Africans, Chinese, Arabs, indigenous people and Spaniards.
Weirdos of Another Universe/Avery Gibbs (2003)
A series of paintings that explores the "what ifs" of an imaginary situation where a
