FAQ About The Influence of Dream Interpretation in Art Movements

How did dream interpretation influence modern art movements besides Surrealism?

Besides Surrealism, dream interpretation influenced movements like Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism.

Abstract Expressionists, influenced by both Freud and Jung, employed spontaneous and subconscious processes in their art, allowing the subconscious to dictate form and composition, as seen in the works of artists like Jackson Pollock.
