Project 8- Surrealism and Photomontage Inspiration

Surrealism is a genre of art that can expressed through paintings, photos, and writing.  Surrealists find inspiration for their work through dreams and imagination, which often provides insight into the artists' lives.  Surrealism goes outside the boundaries of reality and everyday life.  Famous surrealist, Salvador Dalí, says, “Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.”
