The Surrealists

"Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities during World War I"

Surrealist art was a movement in the early 1920's which I believe is derived from creating art that is expressing what is held in our subconscious. Surrealist art is expressive yet unexpected and does not illustrate the world as we know and see it but rather an altered perspective from deep inside the mind. 


Surrealism was often shocking in nature and included explicit themes such as sexuality or socialism. 

Some of the most famous and well known surrealists include Salvador Dali and Man Ray
