Surrealism was a movement that was very creative and created a big buzz in the world right from 1920. But surrealism made itself involved in various forms that include politics, music, film and literature. Not only as an art, it created an impact but also as a philosophy and a statement that created a huge revolution. Surrealism was a response to the World's participation in the First World War which turned out to be a big terror for the people.
It is said that Andr Breton was the leader of surrealism while the following list of writers and artists were fundamental to the movement of Surrealism: Louis Aragon, Philippe Soupault. Paul luard, Benjamin Pret, Ren Crevel, Robert Desnos, Jacques Baron, Max Morise, Marcel Noll, Pierre Naville, Roger Vitrac, Simone Breton, Gala luard, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Hans Arp, Georges Malkine, Michel Leiris, Georges Limbour, Antonin Artaud, Raymond Queneau, Andr Masson, Joan Mir, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prvert and Yves Tanguy.
Surrealism was also apparent in film. Such surrealist films include Entr'acte from 1924, La Coquille et le clergyman from 1928, Un chien andalou from 1929, L'toile de mer from 1928, L'ge d'Or from 1930 and Le sang d'un pote form 1930.
In order to be more fiction oriented, surrealism was twisted got characterized as elements that were more realistic. Surrealism connected abstract and reality. It acts as a cross between fantasy and reality. Surrealism was required to play with human psyche. Artists who briefed about this art were Grgoire Michonze, Valentine Hugo, Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dali, Alberto Giacomett, Mret Oppenheim, Luis Buuel, Enrico Donati and Toyen.
Surrealism entered in all parts of the world along with its political philosophy. It spread from Europe to North America, Caribbean, South America, , Central America and in some parts of Asia. Its fame increased in Latin America and became extremely popular. Argentina had a great impact as many surrealists were from the country. In Europe, Surrealism came in the 20s while in America it was a bit late and came into existence in the later part of the 60s. Many art exhibitions were held that brought Surrealism into light and those exhibitions were really noteworthy.
Surrealist Art exhibitions named La Peinture Surrealiste was held in 1925 and France was the country where it took place. In 1926, Galerie Surraliste exhibition took place. There was an exhibition in London named London International Surrealist exhibition in the year 1936. Actually there was a rise in the number of exhibitions held in the 1930s. Exhibitions like Fantastic art, Dada and Surrealism were held in New York in 1936. In Paris, the International Surrealist Exhibition took place in 1938. Forties saw some exhibition like the First Papers of Surrealism and the International Surrealist Exhibition in 1949 took place in New York was also held in Paris in 1959. Surrealist Intrusion in the Enchanters' Domain turned out to be the last exhibition in New York in 1960.
Surrealism has had an impact on the world not just for its new style of art but for the hidden (or not so much) political messages of generally Marxism, socialism and communism that was portrayed in the artwork.
