Surrealism

Surrealism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, focusing on the unconscious mind and dreams. It seeks to transcend reality by combining bizarre, fantastical elements with everyday life, often creating surprising juxtapositions. While rooted in earlier movements like Symbolism and Expressionism, which emphasized emotion and hidden meaning, Surrealism uniquely emphasizes irrationality and spontaneity. Artists aim to challenge logical thinking, inviting viewers to explore deeper psychological truths and interpretive layers in their work. This approach encourages individual perspectives, allowing art to resonate on personal and often unsettling levels.
