The first Manifesto of Surrealism was a rejection of the logical and the rational, and a call to explore the untainted functioning of the mind. The results of its study led to many of the 20th century's great artworks, and founded a movement that permeates every aspect of contemporary art. 21st Century Surrealism attempts to update the principles of the art of the unconscious. This book is a treatise in aesthetics, viewed through the lens of history. It is an examination of the meaning and purpose of art, and why the art of the unconscious remains the most vital spark in creativity.Careful to embrace all media: visual, musical, literary, and others, this engaging and wondrous book, bespeckled with myriad alluring illustrations, examines the workings of the mind with respect to creativity, explores consciousness and unconsciousness, and acts as a guide, inspiration, and a tool box for artists and creative thinkers working in any medium.
