Surrealism

With Salvador Dal­ as its figurehead, the great ship of Surrealism traversed the wild and turbulent sea of the Roaring Twenties, its sails full of winds blown by Sigmund Freud and Andr© Breton. With their mysterious, dreamlike, fantastic imagery, the Surrealists made sensational waves in the art world. The influence of artists such as Dal­, Bu±uel, Ernst, and Magritte on 20th century film, theatre, literature, art theory even advertising is inestimable.
