Criel, Gaston. "Surrealism." Books Abroad 26. 2 (1952): 133-136 University of Oklahoma. Web. 9 Nov. 2010 In this article, Surrealism is explained as one's immediate interpretation of life and reality. It is not a question regarding literature of art anymore because the concept of surrealism is becoming clearer to viewers today. It started with the works of Dada (Salvador Dali) and has grown into self-realization of our wildest dreams. This self-realization has progressed through works of literature and famous poetry throughout history. Surrealism is described as an unrestricted vision between the world and reality. This leaves us in an exciting environment where everything is pleasant and enjoyable. According to Andre Breton, "Surrealism arose from an affirmation of faith in the genius of youth (135)." Surrealism gives us back our youth. It allows us to aim for the sky because nothing is holding us back.
