Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for the visual artworks and writings of the group members. Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement. Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s onward, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film and music of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy and social theory.

The opening paragraph is surreal, especially if you take 'surreal' to mean dreamlike, yes? One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly before his eyes.

Also what is your personal thoughts on Dada art? Asked by Drahfruida - Sun Apr 20 14:07:34 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Freud had little relationship to Dada. The dada artists (Boll, Arp, Duchamp, early Artaud) were trying to assemble nonsense. The original motivation was World War I, which they saw as ultimate evidence that life was pointless and irrational, so they put their art together in ridiculous, nonlinear ways to reflect that belief. Now, you might stretch it to say that the products of their attempts at randomness created a sort of aesthetic Rohrshak test, but I'd find that assertion a little forced if I were grading it. Surrealism, OTOH, was greatly influenced by Freud. Its primary icon, Dali, intentionally sought to paint the stuff of his dreams as a means to explore his own subconscious.
