• Surrealism was mostly a European movement, stemming from Dada, Dada was an artistic and literary movement from 1916 through 1920. Dada was also a cultural movement focused on the rejection of the predominate standards of art through anti-art cultural works. “Dada was the groundwork to abstract art and sound poetry, a starting point for performance art, a prelude to post modernism, an influence on pop art, a celebration of anti-art to be later embraced for anarcho-political uses in the 1960’s and the movement that lay the foundation for surrealism.”-Marc Lowenthal

• Surrealism is a style in which visual imagery becomes fantastical visuals from the subconscious mind with no intention of making the work logically comprehensible.

• “I insist upon a likeness, a more profound likeness, more real than the real, achieving the surreal. This is the way I understood Surrealism, but the word had been used quite differently.“-Pablo Picasso
