Surrealism

Surrealism is a style seeking to reveal the reality behind appearances, especially in the psychological sense and drew heavily on dreams, the irrational and fantasy. Surrealism grew directly out of Dadaism and was founded by poet and critic Andre Breton, in 1924. An important vehicle for the imagery was automatism, the practice of automatic drawing or painting; the uncontrolled movement of hand or brush without conscious direction on the part of the artist. In the 1950’s, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock would develop this method of expression further. Artist of the Surrealist movement include Salvador Dali Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish, Joan Miro Dog Barking at the Moon and Rene Magritte Son of Man.
