Surrealist aesthetics was born around the 1920s.

all fields of artistic research. In terms of the visual arts, Surrealism seeks to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Compared to Dalí's canvas works, this work differs primarily in its distinctive design. Indeed, instead of exaggerated hyper-realistic plasticity, here we find a composition resolved with elegant design in a full and crowded composition. We note, however, that the artist's desire to explore the figures' volumes and enhance their plastic qualities remains. The entire composition is enlivened by frenetic splashes of color and a frenetic linearity that add a strong dynamic component to the composition.

Salvador Dalí (Figueres 1904-1989). A major representative of historical Surrealism, he was a photographer, writer, and filmmaker (his collaboration with Luis Buñuel is famous) as well as a painter. His works are based on the principles of psychoanalytic associationism, following the teachings of André Breton. His style is characterized by a turgid, harsh hyperrealism, in which his subjects display an obsessive attention to detail. His compositions are a mix of free associations, biomorphic organisms, and cultural references.
