Surrealism was one of the most interesting and
influential art movements of the twentieth
century. A collective adventure begun by a
small group of intellectuals in Paris in the
early 1920s, amongst them Max Ernst, Rene
Magritte and Salvador Dali, its influence was
felt through the rest of continenal Europe and
in Britain, the Americas, Mexico, and Japan.
This introduction offers new insights into the
complexities of the Surrealist imagination. It
documents how the artists met, the relationship
of Surrealism to Dada, and the influences that
informed the movement, particularly the work
of Sigmund Freud. The position of women, as
Surrealist subject matter as well as artists in
their own right, is also examined.
