Surrealism

Surrealism is an international art movement that expresses the thin line or overlapping of dream and reality. The movement was formed in the early 1920s in France and was best known for it's painting qualities that allowed the uncoscious to express itself or concept.

Andre Breton was the original founder of the movement, he was a publication artist who believed that surrealism was a life style, a way of thinking. His theory of this was the work of Sigmund Freud, who discovered a layer in the brain that was perceived as the storage of our instincts and memories, he called this the unconcouis and stated that we were not aware of it most of the time, simply a basic trait of one person. The art work that Breton wanted to create and get across was to access that state and reconcile with it in normal life. The work was always controversial and some times very dark. Some famous artists made there life in this movement. Some of the artist were big names like Salvador Dali,  René Margritte, Pablo Picasso and so much more.
