Europe After the Rain background

Europe After the Rain

The Surrealist movement emerged as a response to Dadaism, harnessing its radical energy by combining Freudian psychoanalysis with Marxist ideologies to create a unique artistic synthesis.

The birth of Dada art emerged from the chaos of World War One, fueled by disgust. It evolved into Surrealism, a blend of Freudian psychoanalysis and Marxist provocation, aiming to conquer the irrational. Artists like Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Benjamin Peret, and Yves Tanguy pushed boundaries through unconventional performances and art. Led by Andre Breton, the movement inspired a gang of artists, writers, and lunatics. Despite internal conflicts, their ideas spread to Hollywood, advertising, and popular culture.
