Who is a surrealist Artist:
Surrealism aimed to revolutionise human experience, rejecting a rational vision of life in favour of one that asserted the value of the unconscious and dreams.
Surrealist artists invented new techniques and philosophies of creating art that had profound and lasting impacts on the art world.
Influenced by the writings of psychologist Sigmund Freud, the literary, intellectual, and artistic movement called Surrealism sought a revolution against the constraints of the rational mind; and by extension, the rules of a society they saw as oppressive.
Because of the emphasis on creative freedom, artistic techniques in Surrealist artwork vary greatly. However, in depicting the dreamlike imagery so common in Surrealist art, a number of techniques were devised by Surrealist painters to help capture the thoughts of the unconscious mind.
Many Surrealist artists also combined different artistic styles in a single work, exploring the presence of recognisable shapes paired with fluid, uncertain imagery to guide their viewers’ minds without providing concise explanations.
The main goal for Surrealist artists was to embrace automatism and to release the mind’s imagination and unconscious thoughts, which was interpreted differently by each artist
