Surrealism - twentieth century avant-garde art movement that originated in the nihilistic ideas of the Dadaist and
French literary figures, especially those of its founder, French writer André Breton (1896-1966). At first a Dadaist, he
wrote three manifestos about Surrealism — in 1924, 1930, and 1934, and opened a studio for “surrealist research.”
Influenced by the theories of the pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (German, 1856-1939), the images found
in surrealist works are as confusing and startling as those of dreams.

I like her ability to make some of her photos as if it were paintings and
her technique in the second photo.
