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.
Surrealist art was primarily inspired by dreams and the unconscious mind, drawing on the theories of Sigmund Freud and the exploration of subconscious desires. While elements of nature and historical contexts occasionally appeared in surrealist works, the movement focused more on the juxtaposition of unexpected imagery and the illogical, dreamlike qualities of human thought. This approach aimed to challenge conventional perceptions of reality and provoke a deeper exploration of the psyche.

Joan Miró was involved with the Surrealist art movement. He was one of the key figures of this movement and his work often displayed dreamlike and symbolic imagery, exploring the subconscious mind. Miró's use of vibrant colors and organic shapes in his paintings and sculptures became iconic within the Surrealist movement.
