Feminist Criticisms of Surrealism Feminists claim that the Surrealist movement was fundamentally a male movement despite the occasional few celebrated female Surrealist painters and poets.They believe that it adopts typical male attitudes towards women. For example, many artists portrayed women in a stereotypical way, following sexist norms. A pioneer of the feminist critique of surrealism was Xaviere Gauthier.Her book,Surrealisme et Sexualiteinspired the importance of scholarship related to marginalization of women in relation to the avant-garde.The criticisms were of women having much more subordinate roles in comparison with the men. 30. Freudian CriticismFreud initiated the psychoanalytic critique of Surrealism that stated that he wasmore interested in the Surrealist conscious rather than the unconscious. In thisview the Surrealists may have created great works but they were products of the conscious, not the unconscious mind. The unconscious cannot express itselfautomatically, but can only be uncovered through the analysis of resistance and transference in the psychoanalytic process. 31.
