Founded by Andre Breton in 1924, it was a primarily European movement which attracted many members of the chaotic Dada movement. It was similar in some respects to the late 19th-century Symbolist movement, but deeply influenced by the psychoanalytic work of Freud and Jung.
The Surrealist circle was made up of many of the great artists of the 20th century, including Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico, Man Ray, Joan Miro, and Rene Magritte.

'Paysage aux Papillons' Salvador Dali
'The Elephants' Salvador Dali, 1948I started looking at the surrealist movement because of the lack of normality and the dream like state. This reminds me slightly of the work of Freddie Robins so i thought it was important for me to research it, and i have found myself really inspired by Salvador Dali's work.
