Surrealism and the unconscious

Surrealism excavates the material of dreams and unguarded thought, treating the unconscious not as pathology but as source material with its own logic and authority. For visual and literary artists, this meant learning to paint or write from a state of deliberate receptivity, letting the hand move ahead of conscious intention.
