Surrealist ManifestoSurrealism was not in origin an art movement, but a philosophical strategy. It was a way of lifea rebellion against the establishment that had given the world the hideous slaughter of World War I. Instead of trying to analyze the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris focuses on them as people. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses?101 Surrealists101 Surrealists
