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.

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.
