The Manifesto of Surrealism

The Manifesto of Surrealism, written by André Breton in 1924, outlines a movement that seeks to unlock the unconscious mind to inspire art and thought beyond rationality. Surrealism emphasizes imagination, dreams, and free association, aiming to break free from logical constraints to explore deeper psychological truths. It encourages unconventional ideas and creative expression, often combining unexpected images or concepts. The manifesto advocates for originality and the liberation of the mind, fostering a new way of seeing and experiencing reality that taps into the subconscious to challenge traditional perceptions.
