How did the movement of surrealism come about?
Surrealism originated from the Dada movement. Dadaism portrayed all things irrational through many forms of performance. Andre Breton, created the first surrealist manifesto and founded the surrealist movement. His group expanded and included some people such as Rene Magritte, Man Ray and Salvador Dali who was later kicked out because fame had gone to his head. There were also many more people included in Breton’s group.
