Surrealism

Guillaume Apollinaire "to describe a form of expression that surpasses realism" 1917 - 1924

In the 1920's surrealism was a artistic and literary movement, used to express the dreams artists may have had and the imagination that were free of conscious control of reason and convention.
Releasing dreams or nightmare like images they have in their mind onto paper.

Surreal art can either be pretty and calming, just straight out weird or unnerving, spooky and unsettling.

Two styles of surrealism being the dream like works and automatic work.
