Surrealism
Surrealism began in the late 1910's and early 20's. It became an international intellectual and political movement. Some of the artists were: Breton, Louis Aragon, Paul Eluard and Philippe Soupault. It grew out of Dada. Surrealism was based on positive expression.
The Surrealists had a leader who was, ''Pope of Surrealism,'' who was a French writer. His name is Andre Breton. Some combine the word, ''surreal,'' with the strange things that happen in our dreams.
This image above is an example of Surrealism, it has strange stuff such as the girl is playing the piano in a form of a house with candles on top and the house is burning.
Surrealism was influenced by Sigmund Freud.
