Surrealist Philosophy: The Art of the Absurd

What is Surrealism?

It's like, uh, reality, but not really.

Imagine a world where the laws of physics don't apply, and the laws of logic don't apply, and the only thing that really matters is that it looks nice.

Or, you know, it's like a dream, but without the part where you wake up.

Key Principles:

• Reject the banalities of everyday life
• Emphasize the importance of the irrational
• Challenge the notion of "reality" itself
• Use weird, unexplainable imagery to convey your message

Notable Surrealists:

• Salvador Dali
• Max Ernst
• Leonardo Esquire
