2 What is surrealism? A 20th-century avant- garde movement in art and literature that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images. "Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, and unexpected juxtapositions. Surrealists often bring together two unrelated images and place them in a dreamscape."

3 What are the key characteristics of surrealism?
The exploration of the dream and unconsciousness as a valid form of reality, inspired by Sigmund Freud's writings. A willingness to depict images of perverse sexuality, scatology, decay and violence. The desire to push against the boundaries of socially acceptable behaviors and traditions in order to discover pure thought and the artist's true nature. The incorporation of chance and spontaneity. Emphasis on the mysterious, marvelous, mythological and irrational in an effort to make art ambiguous and strange. Fundamentally, Surrealism gave artists permission to express their most basic drives: hunger, sexuality, anger, fear, dread, ecstasy, and so forth. Exposing these uncensored feelings as if in a dream still exists in many form of art to this day.
