Detailed Description

Surrealism was an art movement that began in the early 1920s. It was started by a group of artists who wanted to break away from traditional art forms and explore the unconscious mind. They believed that the best way to do this was through the use of images that were strange and dreamlike. Some of the most famous surrealist artists include Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, and Max Ernst. Some of the most famous surrealist paintings include Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory” and Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images”. Surrealism had a major influence on the art world and continues to be an important part of the art world today.
