	'''Surrealism''' is an artistic and cultural movement begun in the 20th century, whose hallmark is non-realistic juxtapositions and imagery: combinations of the fantastic and the real, or the real recreated in unreal ways, or the real in unreal juxtapositions; surrealism, like [[Dada]], was intentionally startling and often comedic or humorous. The dreamlike (sometimes nightmarish) imagery was intended to show super-reality as viewed through the subconscious.

The dreamlike (sometimes nightmarish) imagery was intended to show super-reality as viewed through the subconscious.

	Politically, the movement emerged from radical political movements, particularly Marxist communism but drawn significantly from the more anarchist [[Dada]] movement. However, while the Surrealism Movement was begun as a radical political art project, the term surrealism has come to describe an artistic style that has been employed much more broadly than the original political movement. For example, Salvador Dalí, became a fascist sympathizer, and although the Surrealist Movement felt he had left the movement, Dalí's work is widely described as surrealist. (Dalí is likely one of the major factors leading to the apolitical use of the term "surrealism".)

	Recently, some artists have attempted to [[reclaim]] surrealism as a [[political art]] movement (see, e.g., [[Louise Bourgeois]] and some of the [[Situationism\|Situationists]]), but many people use it simply to describe an aesthetic style. Interestingly, in the late 20th century, the anti-colonialist strains of surrealism have been combined and rethreaded with other fantastic art movements (e.g., [[magical real]] and [[mythic arts]]) in new forms of fantastic political art. (See, e.g., [[Luisa Valenzuela]]'s ''The Lizard's Tail''.)
