In 1920 the
surrealist movement in the arts was created. The theories of Freud on
unconscious and its
influence in the human being creativity had helped to leaven the new ideas. To free the mind of the moral and mongering standards dictated by the society, to run away from the imposed logic, to give to outflow the dreams and fancies. To hear the unconscious one. The first Surrealist Manifesto was launched by André Breton, poet and French psychiatrist em1924. The
artists who had been more distinguished in the decade of 1920 had been: In te painting: Salvador Dali, Joan Miró, René Magritte, Max Ernest
In the sculture:
Alberto Giacometti
In the theater:
Antonin Artaud
In the movies:

In the literature:
Paul Éluard, Louis Aragon, Jacques Prévert The movement had great force and world-wide expansion in 30’s, but it exhausted in the years of 1960. In Brazil we see the influence of the
surrealism in the workmanships of some artists as Ismael Nery and Tarsila do Amaral.
