What is surrealism?

Surrealism: Surrealism is a genre of literature and art that prevailed between the two world wars. This school originated from Dada art and has a far-reaching influence on visual art. The theoretical basis of this school is influenced by Freud's psychoanalysis and is committed to discovering human subconscious psychology. Therefore, it advocates abandoning the realistic image of the image world based on logical and orderly experience memory and trying to integrate the realistic concept with instinct, subconscious and dream experience. Surrealism artists mainly include Joan Miro, salvador dali, Ernst, R Magritte and others. Miro's creative performance is deliberately disturbing the normal perceptual order, and under the guidance of intuition, he expresses his mind's improvisation in almost abstract language. Therefore, there will be symbolic symbols and simplified images in its works, which will give the works a sense of freedom and childlike innocence. His main works include The Man Throwing Stones at Birds and Inside the Dutch Family. Compared with Miro, Dali adopted the opposite expression. Dali believes that artists should accurately record the image of the subconscious, so he uses "figuration" to accurately copy the illusion produced by abnormal logical thinking, and combine all irrelevant things to make the picture full of dramatic effects and bring people visual and spiritual shock. His major works include Eternal Memory and Omen of Civil Disturbance.
