The Origin of Surrealism Photography

Surrealism art originated from the Surrealism Manifesto published by French writer André Breton in 1924. In this manifesto, he wrote: "Surrealism is a purely mental unconscious activity of human beings. People can express this real thought process orally, in writing or in other ways-the free activity of thought, without any rational control and without any aesthetic and moral prejudice. " Therefore, the philosophical basis of this art school is henri bergson's intuitionism and Freud's psychoanalysis. In their view, people's truest feelings can only be found in the subconscious and dreams. Therefore, people's subconscious activities, sudden inspiration, psychopathy and dream world are the vast world where all arts gallop.
