Surrealism

Origins

Surrealism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It seeks to explore the irrational aspects of the human mind by creating dreamlike or bizarre imagery. Surrealist artworks often contain unexpected juxtapositions, irrational elements, and a sense of mystery. The style aims to challenge conventional logic and provoke emotions, engaging the viewer's subconscious. Surrealism has greatly influenced various artistic fields, including painting, sculpture, photography, and literature.
