The Surrealist Group in England

The Surrealist Group in England was a collective of artists and writers active mainly in the 1930s and 1940s, inspired by the Surrealist movement that originated in France. They aimed to unlock the unconscious mind through imaginative, experimental art and literature, emphasizing dreams, free association, and spontaneous creativity. Influenced by leaders like André Breton, the group challenged traditional notions of reality, often exploring themes of mystery, psychology, and the subconscious. Their work contributed to the broader Surrealist movement, fostering innovative approaches to artistic expression and challenging conventional perceptions of reality.
