  1. Surrealism Introduced in 1924

  2. Declared as an art form by student of psychiatry André Breton Surrealism was not to offer a new or easier means of expression, but to be an unlocking of the unconscious mind. Breton himself adopted the process of automatic writing putting down the first thing that came to mind and ignoring the censorship of the conscious mind. Artists adopted similar tactics by doing automatic drawing and some even did there artwork in semi-darkness.

  3. By 1930, the surrealists began painting pictures of recognisable objects, though some of these were distorted and put in unusual situations. Fascinated by the world of dreams and the unconscious, surrealists made the real unreal, and the everyday disturbing and strange.
