Surrealists

• Surrealism relies on fantasy to create art that
  expresses personal feelings.
• Surrealism emphasized art in which dreams,
  fantasy and the subconscious served as
  inspiration for artists.
• Surrealists painted very realistic, almost
  photographic, images but combined objects that
  didnt belong together.
