Groupe Surréaliste

Groupe Surréaliste, or the Surrealist Group, was a collective of artists and writers formed in the early 20th century, inspired by the Surrealist movement founded by André Breton. Their goal was to explore and express the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational through innovative art and literature. They emphasized spontaneous creativity, free association, and challenging conventional norms to reveal deeper truths about the human mind and experience. The group played a significant role in advancing Surrealism’s ideas, producing influential works that blended fantasy, reality, and subconscious imagery, heavily impacting modern art and cultural thought.
