Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for the
visual artworks and writings of the group members. Surrealist works feature the element of
surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and
writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost,
with the works being an artifact.
