Surrealist Manifesto
1925
Andre Breton's group in Paris published a statement announcing a new movement that would free the imagination from the logic of waking life by drawing on dreams and the unconscious. Dali, Magritte, Ernst, and Bunuel all found in it a permission slip. Surrealism became one of the century's most recognizable artistic brands.
