World War I in which artists depicted unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself. It was founded by AndreBreton, a French poet and writer, who aimed to explore the realm of the unconscious mind and liberate creativity from rational constraints. Surrealism drew inspiration from Freudian psychology, which emphasized the importance of dreams, the subconscious, and the irrational in human behavior.Surrealist art is characterized by disparate objects and images, often in unexpected and bizarre combinations. The artists employed techniques such as automatic drawing, collage, and photomontage to create a dreamlike and irrational atmosphere. Surrealism as a very unusual and individual genre has attracted the attention of many art lovers and artists. The founder of Surrealism is considered to be the writer and poet Andre Breton, author of the first Surrealist manifesto. Talented artists such as Salvador Dali and his famous paintings such as «The Permanent Memory» and «The Face of War» should also be mentioned. Rene Magnet and his creations «The False Mirror» or «The Happy Giver». Also famous is the artist Yves Tanguy and his masterpieces «Tomorrow» and «The Death of the Family» In general, surrealism left a significant mark on art and culture, opening up new possibilities for the expression of human fantasy and the subconscious.
