The Surrealist Manifesto

The Surrealist Manifesto, authored by André Breton in 1924, outlines the principles of Surrealism, an artistic movement focused on unlocking subconscious thoughts and dreams. It encourages free expression beyond rational limits, emphasizing imagination, spontaneity, and exploring hidden desires. Surrealism aims to challenge conventional norms and reveal deeper truths through unexpected, fantastical imagery. The manifesto promotes the idea that true creativity comes from tapping into the unconscious mind, encouraging artists and writers to break free from logical constraints to achieve more authentic and profound works.
