British Surrealism

British Surrealism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, influenced by earlier surrealist ideas from Europe. It focuses on exploring the unconscious mind and dreamlike imagery, often incorporating unexpected juxtapositions and bizarre elements. Key figures include artists like Salvador Dalí and British artists such as Paul Nash and Eileen Agar. This movement sought to challenge conventional perceptions of reality, evoking emotions and ideas through disorienting visuals and abstract concepts. Surrealism encourages creativity and spontaneity, aiming to liberate the imagination and reveal deeper truths about the human experience.
