Surrealist Movement

Origins

The Surrealist Movement, which emerged in the early 1920s, sought to explore the irrational and subconscious mind through art. It became famous for its dreamlike and imaginative imagery that challenged the boundaries of reality. Influenced by psychoanalysis and Freudian theories, Surrealism aimed to liberate the creativity buried deep within the unconscious. Renowned artists associated with this movement include Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Max Ernst.
