Surrealism emerged after World War 1 from Dadaism, Romanticism, and psychoanalysis. [1] It focuses on using dreamlike imagery and the unconscious mind to create bizarre, thought-provoking art. [2] Key figures like Andre Breton, Salvador Dali, and Rene Magritte used techniques like automatism to challenge rational thought. [3] Surrealism had a major influence on art and culture through its emphasis on intuition and challenging social norms.
