SURREASLIM PART ONE FREUD AND THE UNCONSCIOUS

“I believe in the future resolution of these two states
which in appearance are so contradictory,
that of the dream and that of reality,
into a kind of absolute reality,
a surreality, if one may call it such.”

André Breton

SURREALISM is not a “school,” not a style. It is not just another “ism,” not just another chapter in History of Art.
Like its mother DADA, Surrealism is essentially a movement of the mind… The most intense verbal, and then
visual revolution in the 20 th century, which unraveled the human mind, and helped understand the mechanism
of thought.

Surrealism gives an objective realityto our repressed desires, dream imagery and our unconscious.With Surrealism,
we enter the separate kingdom of the mind, and meet a real alternative within life itself.

Indeed, Surrealism challenges our conventional way of seeing,and offers us another perceptionand understanding
of life, death, and love… Confronting sexuality head-on, the Surrealists also freed the libido from its tabooed boundaries.

This would not have been possible without Sigmund Freud. Come and discover the disquieting and at
times violent iconography of the Surrealist Creators… An iconography fueled by dream and imagination,
nurtured by erotic fantasy.

In this first part of Bea’s Surrealist adventure, come and meet poets like Breton, Aragon, Eluard, Desnos, Crevel; artists
like de Chirico, Magritte, Delvaux.

Be ready for a plunge into yourself!
