Detailed Description

Surreal drawing is a type of art where the artist draws images that are not realistic and often contain strange or dreamlike images. Surreal drawings can be created with any type of medium, but are often done with pencil, pen, or charcoal. Some famous surreal artists include Salvador Dali, René Magritte, and Max Ernst. Dali is probably the most well-known surreal artist and his most famous painting is The Persistence of Memory, which features melting clocks. Magritte’s The Treachery of Images is another famous surreal painting that features a pipe with the words “this is not a pipe” written underneath it. Ernst’s A Week of Kindness is a surreal collage that features various images glued together. Surrealism began in the early 1920s and was influenced by Dadaism. Surrealism was a reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and sought to break down the barriers between the conscious and unconscious mind. Surrealist artists believed that the best way to access the unconscious mind was through dreams, automatism, and free association.
