The first Surrealist Manifesto was written in 1924. The artists who were young then continued working till old age. Daíi died in 1989.
The declared intention of the Surrealists was to use dreams and the unconscious as the source of their inspiration and subjects.
The art movement is Surrealism. Surrealism was mainly about the dream world and the unconscious, like the name implies. Surrealists tried to merge reality and imaginary into one thing, just like the way the dream world is. Surrealism was all about the mysterious and dreamy qualities of life. Some Surrealists are Dali and Ernst.
Surrealism is meant to be and artistic representation of the unconscious mind and is a response to the Dada movement. Sigmund Freud's work with free association and dream analysis was a heavy inspiration. Surrealists also often aligned themselves with communism and anarchism.
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.
Another name for the working class is blue collar workers. Working folk, rank and file, and working stiffs are also other names of the working class.
