Surrealism
*Cultural movement that began in the 1920s
*Dada activities of World War I
*Centered in Paris
The 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, and leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.

In Surrealism, the world of dreams and reality are drawn together. That message has not come across as clearly as you presented in class. You did not put the necessary "meat" in your blog that we had in class. Your visuals are great however. (8 pts)
