Surrealism

Some people know surrealism as a kind of style in painting (even more people don’t know what surrealism is). In fact, this is not entirely right. According to Wikipedia (and cited from Guillaume Apollinaire’s quote), surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the mid-1920s, and is best known for the visual artworks and writings of the group members. Two vital elements that distinguish surrealism from other style in painting is its tendency to be suprising and features scene that is impossible to happen in reality. One painting that adapts this style is “The Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali, created in 1931.
