The Surrealist Group

The Surrealist Group was an influential movement of artists and writers founded in the 1920s, aimed at unlocking the unconscious mind to express the depths of human experience. They believed that rational thought limits creativity, so they used techniques like automatic drawing and free association to explore dreams, fantasies, and hidden desires. Their work often features strange images and unexpected juxtapositions, seeking to challenge perceptions and reveal deeper truths beyond logic. The group was part of the broader Surrealist movement, which sought to revolutionize art and thought by embracing the irrational and the imaginative.
