Surrealism - general and influence
The surrealists were a group of people that wanted to go against the bourgeouis. Their intentions were to shock people through their bizarre and illogical works on religion, gender and other social taboos. They didn't want to be defined. Surrealism was created by Andre Breton in the 1920's. It originally stemmed from the avant garde movement Dada.
Surrealism is everything that breaks tradition. It isn't real, normal but does question realistic expectations. Surrealism aimed at expressing imaginative dreams and visions free from conscious rational control.
