Surrealism was born as a movement of literature and art, marking the so-called subconscious arising in all images between real and virtual. Surrealism bluntly ignores the rules of grammar and poetics, ruled by the impulse of emotion, capturing the imaginations of countless artists, including Salvador Dalí. Bizarre and extravagant, that&#39;s how we look at Dalí and how he used to change the world.

Dalí&#39;s &quot;super pen&quot; has opened up before the public the world of dreams but not separated from the present. Dalí&#39;s inspiration still comes from real-life physical concepts that everyone is familiar with, but they are distorted, chaotic, floating, superimposed. They hypnotize the viewer with the power of imagination. With a free-spirited, law-defying nature, Dalí builds art out of fidelity to obsessions, elevating them to a metaphysical vision to sketch a game through the dark yet magical land of himself. Dalí&#39;s dream-reality dilemma was dominated by another theoretical revolutionary, Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Dalí perfectly absorbed the logic of the dominant Freudian psychoanalytic period. According to Freud&#39;s subconscious theory, the subconscious mind is that part of the mind that contains all thoughts and emotions that are independent of the individual&#39;s awareness or control, but that it frequently influences the conscious behavior of the individual. that individual.

When a person thinks or has feelings about anything, at the same time the subconscious mind will be active, leading to what happens in dreams, those dreams are encoded as the activity of the subconscious mind. awake. Thanks to Freud, Dalí seemed to be stimulated to reach the mysterious end of dreams, he developed the psychoanalytic character of his paintings by creating the paranoiac-critical method. . This technique evokes paranoia without stimulants, opens a fear of being manipulated or controlled by external forces, and focuses attention on internal mechanisms. This methodological process is performed as a sign association of dreams. It is the process of turning abstract things into images, linking them together, creating them in many ways, uncovering the secrets hidden deep in the artist&#39;s subconscious: obsessions, fears, twists have long ago. Thus, this method also helps artists to discover themselves, turning images of paranoid phenomena into existing objects on artworks in the real world. Thereby, instead of removing obsessions from thoughts as a defense mechanism of the mind, the artist balances them, turning them into inspiration for sublimated art. Dalí had reached the goal of psychoanalysis, by entering his dreams he found another reality and, after returning from the &#39;farming&#39; state, he plotted what he saw.

The paranoid-critic approach greatly influenced Dalí&#39;s expressive art, which is objectification. He once declared in The New Limits of Painting (The New Limits of Painting, 1928) that modern art must consecrate to the so-called &quot;poetic autonomy of the object&quot;. Dalí believes that the object itself has meaning, no need to affect the human subject in reality. Reality is objective, he believes that if you focus too much on art on objectivity, it will inevitably lead to failure to perceive the beauty of the world in itself. Dalí liberated all material beings from their function (dematerialising), leaving them &quot;to serve no purpose&quot; and then super-spiritualising things to create new forms of energy. batch. Dalí&#39;s painting skills astound the viewer by breaking the preconceived notions of reality when transforming a bee into a tiger, fish and bayonet in this painting. &nbsp; Dream caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second before Wakening up, 1944; &nbsp; or put next to each other double imagery and symbols as in &nbsp; Swans Reflecting Elephants, 1937 .

Surrealism reflects the departure from the clichés, academia, on the contrary, emphasizes things that are not under the control of reason. The surrealist artist&#39;s mission is not to find objects that can fully serve the subject, but to free things from the mind that controls them. This change of concept must be associated with a natural scientific revolution, in order to create a new perception of the world, it was Dalí who was the one who enlightened and helped widen the world of the rationalist view. .

What happened to surrealism?

For many writers like André Breton, the founder of surrealism, their artistic direction is based on subconscious thought and contemplation, which is their own artistic realm, without needing anyone to segment for them. This is &quot;spontaneousism&quot;, that is, self-initiative, self-forming, symbolizing spontaneous, spontaneous writing. They believe that only the spontaneous way can capture the thinking image of the subconscious mind. As for Dalí, what is of the spontaneous unconscious is usually taken from the subconscious mind and what is on the surface of the subconscious mind, the artist&#39;s job is to go to the segmentation and elucidate that metaphysical image. Dalí and Breton worked together with French surrealist artists on projects and filmmaking, but he was later expelled from the group because of political disagreements. But, perhaps this is the time when he really let go of the boat he once clung to to satisfy his surrealist fascination, opening the beginning of his artistic flourishing. His unique look into the world of art and his infatuation with surreal fantasies create the magic of deft hands, allowing Dalí to bring his illusions to the canvas. The pride and extravagance of his own nature made him extravagant in his compositions, proving his own statement about himself: “I am the one who saves painting from the threat of the Abstract school. iconography, Academic Surrealism, Dadaism in general, and all sorts of other old-fashioned &#39;ism&#39;&quot;.
