Surrealism was a cultural and artistic movement that began in the early 1900's. It's aims were to challenge the meaning of reality, and to look at the melding of truth and dreams. The pieces that came out of this movement were often illogical, and nonsensical, often including magical elements. Some famous artists during this time period include Belgian painter René Magritte and Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico.
