Modernism (Surrealism).
The object of Surrealism is to fathom the unconscious. In order to do this artists used their dreams and free association.

I love surreal art, and I get most of my ideas from vinatage books, such as Alice in wonderland.
Quite true.
Literature and pictorial art would be more interesting if the artists sought to express subconscious ideas and feelings.
Surrealism is a movement based on dreams and dreaming. Surrealism exists in contrast to reality. What we know to be true must be questioned in Surrealism. Look at any painting by Salvador Dali. His paintings are based in a world that is not our own. Essentially Surrealism is founded in a stark contrast to all paintings before them. Before, paintings were of reality or of things that could possibly exist. Surrealism strove to break the mold of what the world essentially understood to be "Art". Art was no longer the replication of reality on a canvas; instead, it became a creative outlet of the imagination of the Surrealist artists. Surrealism was about dreams, imagination, and the opposite of reality.
André Breton started Surrealism in 1924 with his 'Manifesto du Surréalisme'. It was the Surreal the artists were looking for to express, and founded this mainly in the Subconscious, discovered by Freud. Surrealism is an art movement in which one's dreams, nightmares, subconsciousness and fantasy inspire the final works.
The art movement called Dada was a precursor to Surrealism. It questioned "what is art" by making "non-art" The surrealists took this idea and ran with it years later, keeping the "non-art" aesthetic, but giving it meaning. Marcel Duchamp is one of my favorite Dada artists, who also was a good bridge between Dada and Surrealism.
The modern artists were most heavily influenced by War and science, it changed the way people thought and changed the type of art that was comming out at this time.
