In this presentation, we explore the world of Surrealism, an artistic and literary movement that emerged in the early 20th century as a revolutionary response to the political, social, and cultural upheavals of the time. We focus specifically on the intersection of art and politics, and the ways in which Surrealism sought to challenge and subvert established norms and power structures. It also explores the ways in which Surrealism was connected to various political movements of the time, including anarchism, communism, and anti-fascism. One powerful example of Surrealist art connected to politics is Pablo Picasso's painting "Guernica". Through this and other examples, we demonstrate how Surrealism was a revolutionary movement that challenged traditional notions of art, society, and politics. Whether you're an art lover, a history buff, or simply interested in exploring the radical possibilities of the human imagination, this presentation is sure to provide valuable insights and a deeper understanding of Surrealism as a revolutionary movement of the 20th century.

Sample Entry:
*Rabindranath Tagore, Punishment
Offered a new voice to Indian expression. He was a short-story writer, song composer, playwright, essayist, and painter who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of modern India. I enjoy the natural quality and the personal tone of his verse: "The carriage stands at the door. It is midday./ The autumn sun is gradually gathering strength." Etc.

4. ‘Surrealist Manifesto’, Andre Breton (1924)
‘We are still living under the reign of logic.’
‘Under the pretence of civilisation and progress,
we have managed to banish from the mind
everything that may rightly or wrongly be
termed superstition or fancy; forbidden is any
kind of search for truth which is not in
accordance with accepted practices.’
‘I believe in the future resolution of these two
states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so
contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a
surreality, if one may so speak.’
5. ‘And the Seventh Dream is the Dream of Isis’, David Gascoyne (1933)
white curtains of infinite fatigue
dominating the starborn heritage of the colonies of St Francis
white curtains of tortured destinies
inheriting the calamities of the plagues of the desert
encourage the waistlines of women to expand
and the eyes of men to enlarge like pocket-cameras
teach children to sin at the age of five
to cut out the eyes of their sisters with nail-scissors
to run into the streets and offer themselves to unfrocked priests
teach insects to invade the deathbeds of rich spinsters
and to engrave the foreheads of their footmen with purple signs
for the year is open the year is complete
the year is full of unforeseen happenings
and the time of earthquakes is at hand
