Transcript Surrealistic Landscapes

Surrealism
• Surrealism is a cultural movement and
artistic style that was founded in 1924
by André Breton. Surrealism style uses
visual imagery from the subconscious
mind to create art without the intention
of logical comprehensibility.
Surrealism
• The movement was begun primarily in
Europe, centered in Paris, and attracted
many of the members of the Dada
community. Influenced by the
psychoanalytical work of Freud and
Jung, there are similarities between the
Surrealist movement and the Symbolist
movement of the late 19th century.
Surrealism
• The Surrealist movement eventually
spread across the globe, and has
influenced artistic endeavors from
painting and sculpture to pop music
and film directing.
Psychoanalysis
• Psychoanalysis is a body of
ideas developed by Austrian
physician Sigmund Freud and
his followers, which is
devoted to the study of
human psychological
functioning and behavior. It
has three applications:

his friend Wilhelm Fliess. Beside
Freud, Fliess played an essential
role in the birth of psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalysis designates concomitantly
three things:
• 1. A method of mind investigation. And
especially of the unconscious mind;
• 2. A therapy of neurosis inspired from the
above method;
• 3. A new stand alone discipline who is
based on the knowledge acquired from
applying the investigation method and
clinical experiences.
