The art movement Surrealism began during the 1920's and can be said to have spread through contemporary society more than any other art movement, regardless of being continuously questioned by the art establishment.
Surrealism attempts to further our understanding of the human condition by looking at ways of combining our supposed conscious reality with our unconscious dream state.
Surrealism is a style that in which visual imagery from the subconcious mind is used with no intention of making the work rationally logic. The movement was founded by Andre Breton in 1924, a european movement which involed many members including many of the great artists of the 20th centuary, including Max Ernst, Jean Arp and probably the best know surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
