Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for the visual artworks and writings of the group members.

Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.

Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s on, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy and social theory.

A. There are two very basic fields: 1. Commercial art, you do what they ask, you get a weekly paycheck. 2. fine art, you do what you want and hope that someone will like it. In fine art go with your passion, when you choose something where you can put more of yourself into it shows, don't worry about what the books say is this or that, there are alot of different tastes in art and just because someone says it's not fine art doesn't mean that someone else won't love it. do both if you want and see what you enjoy more. I like all kinds of art and yes I think pop art is coming to even more popularity...have you seen anything by Peter Max..some of his stuff is in museums..some times it takes the art community a while to except an artist...that [cont.]
