Surrealism derives much of its meaning from the theories of Dr. Sigmund Freud.

The images in surrealism, are as confusing as those in dreams.

Surrealism Artists included: Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Andre Masson, Rene Magritte. Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early-1920s, and is best known for the visual artworks and writings of the group members. The works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost with the works being an artifact, and leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement. From the Dada activities of World War I Surrealism was formed with the most important center of the movement in Paris. From the 1920s on it spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, music, and video games of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice and philosophy and social theory.
