Answers
Answer:
Surrealism is an artistic movement that has had a lasting impact on painting, sculpture, literature, photography and film.
Surrealism officially began with Dadaist writer André Breton’s 1924 Surrealist manifesto, but the movement formed as early as 1917.
Surrealism was a cultural movement which developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I and was largely influenced by Dada.
The movement is best known for its visual artworks and writings and the juxtaposition of distant realities to activate the unconscious mind through the imagery. Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes, sometimes with photographic precision, creating strange creatures from everyday objects, and developing painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself.
Its aim was, according to leader André Breton, to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or surreality.
