Definition of Art History as it relates to Art, Impressionism, Oil Painting

Surrealism: A cultural movement originating in the early 20th century, characterized by artistic expression of dreamlike and irrational imagery, often combining elements of reality in unexpected and illogical ways to challenge perceptions of the world. Surrealist art seeks to explore the unconscious mind and its workings, often drawing from techniques such as automatic writing or drawing, collage, and games like exquisite corpse to create unexpected juxtapositions and uncover deeper truths. Influenced by psychoanalysis, particularly the theories of Sigmund Freud, surrealism has had a profound impact on various forms of art, literature, and film, and continues to inspire artists today.
