Surrealism is a cultural movement that developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I and began approximately in 1920 in which artists depicted unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself. The father of the surrealism was Andre Breton who once said "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality". The major figures of the surrealism were Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst, Paul Éluard, Man Ray, Hans Arp, Michel Leiris, Raymond Queneau, André Masson, Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prévert, Yves Tanguy and many others.
