Surrealism was one of the most influential avant-garde movements of the 20th century. 'Discovered' in 1920 by the French poet Andre Breton, it emerged from the horrifying irrationality of the First World War, the revolutionary nonsense of Dadaist art and the penetrating theories of Freudian psychoanalysis. It explored the illogical, the dreamlike, the marvellous; it intended to liberate the imagination, free the mind and change the world. With its unique history of outlandish creativity and its soft spot for the absurd, Britain was a perfect breeding ground for the surreal.
