The Surrealists were a group of 20th-century artists who sought to liberate art from the constraints of reason and logic.
Or, in other words, they made weird stuff.
We have:
The only true reality is the one we invent.
Art is a lie, a deception, a fallacy. It is a deception of emotions, a fallacy of reason.
— René Magritte
The purpose of art is to comfort the artist in his own lifetime.
— Salvador Dalí
The eye is a strange and wondrous thing.
— Max Ernst
The world is a book, and those who do not travel know how its chapters are but the same.
— André Breton
The only true thing is to have no thing.
— André Breton
