Surrealism was a highly organized movement with doctrinaire theories that helped it spread to all corners of the globe, until its very name had entered everyday usage as a synonym for the bizarre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking the reader on a narrative journey beyond such obvious surrealist stars as Salvador Dali , \u003cem\u003eSurrealism\u003c\/em\u003e is a digestible introduction to the movement's key figures as well as their works and where to find them.
