Introduction:- 

What is Surrealism?

        A 20th century movement in art and literature in which unrelated images and events were put together in a strange or impossible way, like in a dream, in an attempt to express what happens deep in persons mind.

 

In other words we can say, Surrealism is the principles, ideals, or practice of producing fantastic or incongruous imagery or effects in art, literature, film,or theatre by means of unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations.

 Surrealism was a cultural movement that developed in Europe in aftermath of World War | in which artists depicted unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself.

                    

What is Dadaism??

A movement in art and literature based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values.

Dadaism was an art and Literary movement in Europe during the 20th century. It was a reaction to the senselessness of war during the early 1900s.

Artists who considered themselves part of the movement rejected the reason and logic they believed led to World War One. This included capitalist rules and regulations. They turned to the opposite, emphasising nonsense writing, shock value and artistic freedom and creativity above everything else.

This international movement was begun by a group of artists and poets associated with the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. Dada rejected reason and logic, praising nonsense, irrationality and intuition. The origin of the Dada is unclear, some believe that it is a nonsensical word.

What is Expressionism??

A style of painting,music or drama in which the artist or writer seeks to express the inner world of emotion rather than external reality.

 In another word we can say that a theory or practice in art of seeking to depict the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in the artist.
