Surrealism Research

I found an article on JSTOR called The Surreal and Surrealism by Philip Dedrick that I found to be helpful. I really liked the conclusion of the article, so I thought I would share it.

     "The surrealist found in these phenomena a key to the expansion of the self, and saw in the yearning and triumphs of the dream state a way of thwarting the destructive and inhuman structures of the logical world. He or she came to delight the senses, to coax them from the high seriousness of their mundane state, and to amplify the self to a greater and more dynamic self-awareness. So I commend you to savor
that other self, half forgotten, that plays chromatic rhapsodies on the organ of the night. For there between the pillow and themind is the other half of thewhole man."
