FAQ About The Influence of Surrealist Sculpture on Modern Art
How did surrealism as a movement begin?
Surrealism began in the early 1920s, primarily influenced by the Dada movement and led by French poet André Breton, who published the "Surrealist Manifesto" in 1924. It aimed to explore the depths of the human psyche through art, literature, and philosophy, rejecting traditional values and emphasizing the role of chance and imagination. Sculptors, alongside painters, played a key role in embodying these principles through innovative three-dimensional works.
