The Surrealist Movement in Art

The Surrealist Movement in art emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing dreams, the unconscious, and unexpected combinations to challenge perceptions of reality. Artists aimed to express the subconscious mind, often creating bizarre, imaginative, and thought-provoking works that blur the line between reality and fantasy. By exploring themes like desire, fear, and memory, surrealism seeks to reveal deeper truths beneath everyday appearances. Notable surrealists include Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, whose innovative techniques and strange imagery continue to influence modern art and culture.
