  Surrealism Started in 1924,Surrealism was both an art and literary movement that stressed the significance of letting one’s imagination rule through the use of the sub-conscious without the hindrances of logic and normal standards. Stemming from the earlier Dadaist (Dada) movement which was popular during World War I, Surrealism involved a more playful and spontaneous in spirit. Ways of thinking about how a viewer perceives the world around himself helped to shape the movement.

  The Surrealist movementwas helped along in its development during the 1920s and 1930s with the famous artist Salvador Dali. He, along with the other movement’s artists, stressed using the subconscious part of the brain to provide the content for the imagery. The artists used a realistic style to paint their irrational images. FYI: The word surrealist was coined by Apollinaire and first appeared in the preface in a his play which was written in 1903 and first performed in 1917.

  Techniques such asautomatism (free association) assisted the artists to put their theories into play in order to get their sub-conscious to become reality in their paintings and literary works. Artists who used automatism to help create their work were called Absolute Surrealists. Artists who focused on making connections amongst material and abstract forms were called Veristic Surrealists. Their aim was to manipulate objects from reality into their paintings, as opposed to the Absolute Surrealists who tried to create imagery from their own minds. From the 1920s onward, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy, and social theory.

  Salvador began exhibitinghis works in 1922. Some trends in his work which would continue throughout his life were already evident in the 1920s. Dalí devoured influences from many styles of art, ranging from the most academically classic, to the most cutting-edge avant garde. He officially joined the Surrealist Movement group of Paris in 1929 and painted the majority of his many works in that style. He died on January 23, 1989 and has been cited as major inspiration for many modern artists.
