The Surréalists were a group of artists who rejected the rationality of the world and sought to find meaning in the meaningless.

Our chapter 3-7 explores the works of André Breton, who famously declared "Art is a lie, but it's a beautiful one."

Regardless, we've got a section dedicated to the works of Salvador Dali, who painted melting clocks and other surrealistic masterpieces.

Read on to find out how Dali's use of optical illusions in his art was influenced by his love of magic tricks.
