Surrealism was a literary and visual art movement centred in Paris, which flourished in Europe between the two world wars. It was formalised in 1924 when the French poet and critic Andre Breton published The Surrealist Manifesto. The goal was to create a way of thinking which united subconscious thought with the conscious experience, to create "an absolute reality, a surreality." Salvador Dali (1904-1989), undoubtedly the most famous Surrealist artist, used Freudian symbols and dream imagery to create erotically charged, hallucinatory images that shocked the world. Dali was a skilled draftsman, and his complex, vibrant, drawings and illustrations were often studies for larger works.
