The Art Of Surrealism
by Emily Sigidson
We were first introduced to Surrealism in the 1920's, when it was first brought about to expand the human mind. It is not biased to the form it takes as it has been seen in art, film, sculpture, etc. Most often, these types of work will offer an element of surprise. This is usually displayed through a random character or landscape that presents some form of unusualness.
It began as an extension of what is known as the Dada movement. Surrealism artists used famous writings to give birth to characters and expand upon our visions. One of the greatest pioneers with these works was Sigmund Freud and his radical works.
A Dadaist, Andre Breton wanted to provide a greater understanding of surreal art in his book, "Surrealist Manifesto." Essentially, he wished to provide insight into the magnificent fantasy that goes along with the surrealism. He best described it as a unification of both a realistic and dream state all rolled into one incredible artwork.
Often times, people associate Salvador Dali with Surrealism. One of the most impactful of his works was "The First Days of Spring" which presents a somewhat bothersome dream state, with incredible character and a headless human.
An important thing to note is that Surrealism spanned across the globe. It was exercised in: Mexico, Europe, United States and South America. Its main vision was to promote the human mind's ability to go beyond normal visions and create alternate states by way of imagination.
These words only touch on the vast world of Surrealism. This wonderful ideal is still a popular art form today. It continues to test the abilities of the human mind and make way for a higher level of thinking. It is truly an incredible phenomenon when artwork allows us to escape from our everyday view of reality and channel an alternative state of mind.
