| | Surrealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word "surreal" is often used colloquially to describe unexpected juxtapositions or use of non-sequiturs in art or dialog, particularly where such juxtapositions are presented as self-consistent [1]. | | | Since so many of the artists involved in Surrealism came from the Dada movement, the demarcation between Surrealist and Dadaist art, as with the demarcation between Surrealism and Dada in general, is a line drawn differently by different scholars. | | | Freud initiated the psychoanalytic critique of surrealism with his remark that what interested him most about the surrealists was not their unconscious but their conscious. |

| | Surrealism was a movement in both art and literature that shared some of the "irrational" qualities of the Dada movement, but was much more positive in spirit. | | | Needless to say, this fascination with dreams and trance-like states as a source of inspiration led to the creation of some strange, bizarre and revolutionary art. | | | These differing approaches did not hurt the popularity of the movement as a whole, as Surrealism achieved the most widespread and controversial success of any aesthetic movement between World War I and World War II. |

| | If the precise relationship between Dada and Surrealism remains a subject of considerable dispute, it is at least clear that the Dadaist sense of outrage, and its location of the avant-garde's enemy in the bourgeois determination and fetishisation of art, formed the basis for Surrealism's own self-defined mission and sensibility. | | | Indeed the membership of Paris Dada in the early 1920s, such as it was, contained almost all of those who were to be the guiding lights of Surrealism's first flowering, including Breton, Soupault, Aragon, Paul Eluard, Robert Desnos, René Crevel and Benjamin Péret. | | | (Indeed Freud always remained mystified by Surrealism and its interest in his work). |

| | In fact, Surrealism, together with its precursor, Dada, is generally regarded as a reaction to the climate of despair that surrounded World War I, when it seemed as though Europe's social and technological advances had culminated in nothing greater than its own self-destruction. | | | Guillaume Apollinaire coined the term "surrealism" in 1917 to describe a spontaneous verbal creation—one that was beyond, or "sur," reality. | | | But there's a major difference between the little-s and big-S surrealisms: Our everyday use of the term shows how much we owe to the artistic movement of the same name, but it also glosses over its aims and accomplishments. |
