Encyclopedias
Surrealism is an artistic movement that began in the early 1920s. It attempted to represent the subconscious mind by incorporating juxtaposition of subject matter and incongruous imagery. Surrealism was heavily influenced by the works of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Some of the most famous surrealist artists are Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Man Ray, and Joan Miro. This pathfinder focuses on resources that encompass the Surrealist movement, and individual surrealist artists.
