What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery.

The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
