Surrealism is best known for the visual artworks - the works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non rational perspectives.
Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the mid-1920's which portrays alternate realities that may or may not exist.
Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as a philosophical expression and strive for free expression while resisting censorship of their work.
Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a revolutionary movement.
Surrealist, filmaker Buñuel, desired a revolution brought on by scandal.
This meant levelling constant hostility towards the injustice practiced by the institutions of organised society.
"The real purpose of Surrealism", as he said, was "to explode the social order, to transform life itself."
