| | The intensity of the surrealist life, its extremism and "fanaticism," seems to have disoriented many critics, who prefer poets and artists to be more easygoing and manipulable. | | | That it took so long for the surrealists to discover her is a striking indication of the generalized and deeply ingrained antifeminism of French intellectual life. | | | Another permanent presence in the surrealist castle is Hélène Smith (Catherine Elise Muller, 18??-1929), whose trance-induced global and interplanetary travels resulted in a splendorous profusion of poetic texts, paintings, drawings, and calligraphy. |

| | André Breton's Surrealist Manifesto of 1924 and the publication of the magazine La Révolution Surréaliste ("The Surrealist Revolution") marked the beginning of the movement as a public agitation. | | | Many of the popular artists in Paris throughout the 1920s and 1930s were surrealists, including René Magritte, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Alberto Giacometti, Valentine Hugo, Meret Oppenheim, Man Ray, and Yves Tanguy. | | | As Dada was a negative response to the First World War, surrealism possesses a more positive view that the world can be changed and transformed into a fertile crescent of freedom, love, and poetry. |

| | The surrealist movement of visual art and literature, flourishing in Europe between World Wars I and II. | | | Surrealism grew principally out of the earlier Dada movement, which before World War I produced works of anti-art that deliberately defied reason; but Surrealism emphasis was not on negation but on positive expression. | | | Continued thought processes and investigations into the mind produce today some of the best art ever seen. |

| | He also says that Surrealism is like "dashing down into the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd." This seems to me to be a very good concept of Surrealism. | | | Of course, many people in our world today really do not even know what Surrealism is. Even though they don’t know what it is, it is for certain that they have experienced some type of Surrealism in their life whether it be through books, video games, paintings, movies, or anything of this nature. | | | It's Surrealism."

| | Surrealism, a movement started by Andre Breton, which had its origins in the first world war, and which had its own manifesto by 1924, is noted for its attempts to transcend logic, borrow the language of dreams, subvert bourgeois notions of artistic taste and standards, and generally to fly in the face of Western logic. | | | This paper describes what I have found to be some useful strategies for tapping that unconscious knowledge, language games borrowed from the French surrealists poets and artists. | | | Surrealist games do the same, allowing students to compose their own poems by adhering to a few rules. |
