The Surrealist Manifesto, penned by Andre Breton, sought to overturn a world shaped by traditional civilization by exploring the interplay between dream and reality, creating a new absolute reality: surreality.
Breton's movement embraced the unconscious and spontaneity through automatic creation and collagist games, leading to varied interpretations and expressions of surrealism within the broader artistic community.
Modern exhibitions mark the centenary of the manifesto, showcasing historical works alongside contemporary pieces, illustrating how surrealism continues to influence young artists and provoke thought on themes of reality.
Feminist artists in the post-war era utilized surrealism to address fascism and gender issues, demonstrating the movement's adaptability and impact on socio-political commentary.
