# Surrealism
From *superreality*. An art and literature movement involving juxtaposition of uncommon imagery. Unnerving, weird, illogical.
Beginning in the 1920s, mostly Paris.
Influenced by [[Dadaism]] and involved some of the same people.
"psychic automatism" to express the real functioning of thought, outside of reason of aesthetic aand moral preoccupation.
*The omnipotence of dream, the disinterested play of thought.*
> *to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or surreality*
\- André Breton
