In my mind's eyes: Oooh, so gorgeous!... :) Or my favourite surrealists.

Oooh, so gorgeous!... :) Or my favourite surrealists.

André Breton
French writer André Breton, a Dadaist and devotee of Sigmund Freud’s work with psychoanalysis. Founder of Surrealism.
André Breton decided (along with the Dadaists) that rational thought was at fault for the world’s problems and that change could only come about through the subconscious mind. He eventually wrote three Surrealist Manifestos and based the movement on the idea that ordinary things, such as objects, symbols, and images could have important meaning when created and viewed with the subconscious.
