Surrealism
Surrealism originated in the late 1910's and early 1920's
It is a literary and art movement
It was created to express the imagination and free the conscious mind of control and reason
Its origins can be traced back to French poets such as Arthur Rimbaud and Charles Baudelaire
Their poetry drew from the private parts of the mind and created surprising and unexpected imagery
They were no longer restricted by traditional reasons and expectations
It was offically founded in Paris in 1924
The manifesto of surrealism by the poet Andre Breton
Surrealism became a political and international movement
Artists who first worked on the Surrealism art movement Max Ernst, Andre Masson and Man Ray
In 1927 artist Rene Magritte moved to Paris and became a leading figure in the Surrealist movement
Magritte painted erotic and explicit objects in unsusal positions and in dreamlike surroundings
Magritte's work was a distinctive split between the visual atomatism created by Masson and the new form of illusionistic surrealism by Salvador Dali
His painting "The Eternally Obvious" was highly thought provoking and shocking
In 1929 Dali moved to Paris also to create his first Surrealist paintings
He expanded on Magritte's dream of surrealism but added his own visions and ideas
Brenton praised Dali's representations of the unconscious mind in his second manifesto of surrealism
They later both became collaborators on the Minotaure a mainly surrealist publication in Paris
The Accommodations of Desire painted by Dali in 1929 was to symbolize his own desires
The surrealist movement began to come to an end as World War One approached
Breton, Ernst, Masson and Dali all left Europe for New York
The movement found some renewal in American
Surrealism's imagery, symbolism, refined techniques and rebellion against the traditional has influenced many other artists
Artists including Joseph Cornell and Arshile Gorky's work clearly takes influence from the surrealist movement
Surrealism's impact on the art world can still be seen today in modern advertising
