The Voyage Of The Surrealists - on hiatus

About This Group

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s. It grew out of the Dada movement but was heavily influenced by the new science of psychiatry and the work of Sigmund Freud.

Surrealist artists used fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtapositions in order to represent unconscious thoughts and dreams. Its writers experimented with automatic writing ~ spontaneous, without censoring their thoughts ~ believing that automatism was a better tactic for societal change than the Dada attack on prevailing values.
