Taschen book Surrealism by Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy, English

- With Salvador Dalí at the forefront, the great ship of surrealism sailed the stormy seas of the early 20th century with its sails filled with dreams and desires. Inspired by Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic practice, the surrealists defended the unconscious as a domain of truth, unrestricted by social standards or expectations. Using techniques ranging from hypnosis to night walks and automatic writing, artists such as André Breton, Max Ernst, Brassaï, and Meret Oppenheim created paintings, drawings, texts, and films in which they sought to bring out their most intimate and primal instincts.
