When did the cultural movement of surrealism begin?

Answer 1

French poet Andre Breton wrote the 'Manifesto of Surrealism' in 1924. The term 'surrealism' was coined by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire in 1917 to refer to his drama 'Les Mamelles de Tiresias' and Pablo Picasso's set designs for a Ballet 'Parade'. There are two distinct styles of Surrealism. One is the precise realistic style Salvador Dali used in his bizarre 'dreamscapes'. Another style is that of Joan Miro and Andre Masson. Very abstract and lyrical imagery, loosely drawn forms exist in shallow space. The rise of Hitler in 1930 sent many artists to America where they became role models for artists like Arshile Gorky, considered to be the last of the Surrealists.
