SURREALISM

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.

Surrealist 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. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.

Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s on, 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.

good headsup on the symbolism - 3:48 janus double headed bird? and a few obelisks. Others are hidden in plain view as they do. Great post mate!

my favourite type of art. Excellence in draughtsmanship and exploration of the mind. Surrealist poetry is great as well.And the 'cadavre exquis' is even a good party game.
