Surrealism
(Beginning in 1924)
It was an artistic movement
that brought together artists, thinkers and researchers in hunt of sense of
expression of the unconscious. They were searching for the definition of new
aesthetic, new humankind and a new social order. Surrealists had their forerunners
in Italian Metaphysical Painters (Giorgio de Chirico) in early 1910's.
As the artistic movement,
Surrealism came into being after the French poet Andre Breton 1924 published
the first Manifeste du surrealisme. In this book Breton suggested that rational
thought was repressive to the powers of creativity and imagination and thus
inimical to artistic expression. An admirer of Sigmund Freud and his concept of
the subconscious, Breton felt that contact with this hidden part of the mind
could produce poetic truth.
