In the 20th century, Surrealism began as a literary movement founded by a French poet, Andre Breton. As well as being a poet, Andre Breton studied medicine and psychiatry. His background definitely influenced the meaning behind Surrealism as he was intrigued by Freud's views on the subconscious mind. Surrealism encourages the merging between the subconscious and conscious mind. The movement was constantly growing and had reached international audiences. It soon developed artistically as many artists had contributed greatly to this movement. Artists such as, Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst and many others.
