Surrealism

Initiated in France during the 1920s and 1930s as a revolutionary literary and art movement, it immediately became extremely popular throughout the world and influenced a broad collection of activities among the creative arts. Like the rest of Surrealism, Surrealist photography tried to blend pictures from many realms of experience, such as dreams, objects, and other art forms, to emphasize and perhaps resolve the inconsistencies between psychological and social realities.
