an artist who is a member of the movement called surrealism

A very important movement in art and literature from 1924 to 1945 in which artists attempted to give visual representation to dreams, fantasies, and the unconsious mind.

Dadaists were disillusioned and reacted against the destruction of the First World War, creating absurd anti-art. Surrealism developed from this in 1924, representing dreams and pure thought inspired by the writing of Sigmund Freud.
