Surrealism

Surrealism is yet another cultural movement which replaced the Dada movement, Andre Breton was the main leader of this movement and he developed a philosophy about art that suggested that art should keep it's physical characteristics and purposes, but the rest of the piece should be open to the entire imagination and be able to be changed around making a completely new style of art work.

Andre Breton studied medicine and phycology throughout world war 1, then joined the dada movement, after developing his own ideas within dada, he went onto producing this concept of surrealism.

The concept basically being a piece of art should keep its original meanings and aspects, but the rest of it could be changed and left to the imaginations desire, creating new a surprising pieces for the world to see.
