What is Surrealism? (Camden)

We use the term "surreal" to describe things that are weird, dream-like, or uncanny, but the Surrealism art movement is a bit more challenging to define.  Influenced by the horrors witnessed and experienced during WW1 and the advancements in psychoanalysis, Surrealism is a movement filled with emotion and vulnerability and is often open to interpretation.  We'll look at the work of artists Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Frida Kahlo, and Leonora Carrington and together we'll see if we can get at the root of what these artists were trying to say with their work.
