Surrealism was an art movement that developed in Paris and spread across Europe from the early 1920s; Surrealism grew from the earlier Dada movement. Artist went against tradition painting methods and toyed with the viewers mind and challenged their imagination. Surrealism embraced the idea that, if traditional art were an expression of the conscious mind, then the unconscious mind could also be captured. The goal of Surrealist artists was not to produce lifelike replications of people or objects. Many Surrealist artists were heavily influenced by the works of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Most famouse surrealist artists were Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Francis Picabia, Yves Tanguy and Joan Miro.
