Surrealism attempted to join the dream world and everyday rational world in “an absolute reality, a surreality.” Surrealism was inspired by Dadaism. Its proponents favored group collaboration, spontaneity, and chance. In rejection of traditional modes of artistic creation, many Dadaists worked in collage, photomontage, and found-object construction, rather than in painting and sculpture Painters: Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Rene Magritte, Yves Tanguy, Salvador Dali

They also sought to break free of Victorian moral values and bourgeois shame about aspects of their lives that might, as seen by whites, reinforce racist beliefs Artists/writers: Langston Hughes, W.E.B DuBois, Louis Armstrong, Josephine Baker
