Surrealism

The Surrealists wanted to embrace the irrational,

Highly influenced by Sigmund Freud, and the Freudian Slip. They wanted to tune onto to their unconscious minds.

Max Ernst painting his dreams.

Salvador Dali, he also paints dreams, or more nightmares, there are two of his that i absolutely love!


Persistence of memory, 1931
Soft construction with boiled beans, (premonition of civil war), 1936
