Surrealism

Surrealism is an imaginative art style that explores the realm of dreams, the unconscious mind, and the irrational, often blending reality with fantastical or impossible elements. Originating in the 1920s, Surrealism was influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of the subconscious and sought to liberate creativity from logic and reason.

Surrealist artworks are known for their strange juxtapositions, unexpected combinations, distorted figures, and symbolic landscapes. Common themes include dream imagery, time distortion, metamorphosis, and inner psychological conflict. Key artists include Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Max Ernst.
