surrealism
/səˈrɪəlɪzəm/noun
mass noun
- a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images超现实主义（20世纪在艺术和文学领域中的先锋派运动, 寻求发掘下意识的创作潜能, 例如把各种图像毫无道理地并置在一起）。
Launched in 1924 by a manifesto of André Breton and having a strong political content, the movement grew out of symbolism and Dada and was strongly influenced by Sigmund Freud. In the visual arts its most notable exponents were André Masson, Jean Arp, Joan Miró, René Magritte, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Man Ray, and Luis Buñuel.
