SURREALISM

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best
known for its visual artworks and writings.
The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and
reality.
Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision,
created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting
techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself
Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities during World War I and the
most important center of the movement was Paris.
