'''Surrealism''' was an artistic movement that began in the early-1920, as a reaction against the rationalism that resulted in the horrors of [[World War I]].  Poet Andrew Bretun published "The Surrealistic Manifesto" in 1924 to spearhead this movement, which strived for "an absolute reality, a surreality."
