Modernism · c. 1920–1950

The unconscious made real

André Breton's movement harnessed Freud's theories of the unconscious to create art that bypassed rational thought. Dalí painted burning giraffes and melting clocks; Magritte placed a pipe under the words "this is not a pipe"; Ernst made images from chance and collage. Surrealism sought to reunite the waking world with the logic of dreams.
