Overview of Surrealism
  • The surrealist art movement started in France in
    the early 1920s. The movement soon spread
    throughout Europe and to North and South America.
    The surrealist style is most known for being
    fantasy-like and realistic but imaginary. It is
    like putting a dream on canvas.

Temptation of St. AnthonyBy Salvador Dali
  • This painting by Salvador Dali is a perfect
    depiction of surrealism.
  • It shows imaginary characters, such as animals
    with distorted limbs, in a very realistic yet
    imaginary way.

The False MirrorBy Rene Magritte

    period because it shows something that is fantasy
    like in a photographic way.

    painting.

Surrealism Summary
  • The Surrealist art movement was important to the
    history of art because it explored the
    imagination in a weird and quirky way. Although
    it flourished in the 1920s, Surrealism is still
    an important style of art. Without Surrealism
    many artists would not have found their perfect
    style of painting and we would have missed out on
    some great artists, which changed the mindset of
    people.
