PHILOSOPHY BEHIND SURREALISM
• Offshoot of Dadaism
• Reign of the subconscious
• Marxist undertone
![Page 3: surrealism overlook.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042516/568c38791a28ab02359f0f90/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Automatism
•surrealist technique without conscious self-censorship
•In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper.
•Hence the drawing produced may be attributed in part to the subconscious and may reveal something of the psyche, which
would otherwise be repressed.

Rep-Tech
•The surrealist artists usually used a set of representation techniques for their artwork.
•Their techniques not only gave their final paintings a texture or a certain form, but like a Rorschach test also gave them a base to conceptualize the same.

Politics
• Directly - some Surrealists allied themselves with radical political groups, movements and parties .
• Indirectly – their thinking and philosophies on freeing imagination and the mind, and liberation from repressive and archaic social structures
influenced the masses. This was especially visible in the French revolt of May 1968, whose slogan "All power to the imagination" rose directly
from French Surrealist thought and practice.
![Page 50: surrealism overlook.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042516/568c38791a28ab02359f0f90/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The surrealists sought absolute freedom and their aim was a profound psychological or
spiritual revolution, not an attempt to change society on a merely political or
economic level.

• Pink Floyd Look mummy, there's an airplane up in the sky"
Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? Did you ever wonder why we had to
run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling
bombs? The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.

Literature
In literature, surrealism was confined almost exclusively to France. Surrealist writers were interested in the associations and implications of words rather than their literal
meanings; their works are thus extraordinarily difficult to read. And bordering nonsensical.
A typical paragraph in (an English-language version of) Les Champs Magnetiques is:
It was the end of sorrow lies. The rail stations were dead, flowing like bees stung from honeysuckle. The people hung back and watched the ocean, animals flew in and out of focus. The time had come. Yet king dogs never grow old – they stay young and fit, and someday they might come to the beach and have a few drinks, a few laughs, and get on with it. But not now. The time
had come; we all knew it. But who would go first?

• Many writers from and associated with the Beat Generation were influenced greatly by Surrealists.
• Magic realism, a popular technique among novelists of the latter half of the 20th century especially among Latin
American writers, has some obvious similarities to Surrealism with its juxtaposition of the normal and the dream-like, as in
the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Fashion and Advertising
During that period, many fashion ads began to use elements of fantasy in order to make an emotional appeal to consumers. Prior
to that time, fashion advertisements were generally concerned with simply informing the consumer about the products. During
the 1920's, styles in fashion advertising began to undergo change. It saw a shift in "the focus of advertising from explaining how an article worked to describing the pleasure it could give the user"

• In 1937 Dali in collaboration with Elsa Schiaparelli, fashion designer created the lobster dress inspired
by Dali’s lobster phone. • The iconic fashion diva and singer Lady Gaga is
also an example of a modern surrealist.
