Dalrymple-Henderson, Linda. "The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art: Conclusion." Leonardo 17.3 (1984): 205-210. The MIT Press. Web. 3 Nov. 2010. This article first talks about the non-Euclidean geometries in art from 1900-1930. Non-Euclidean geometry has developed a unique change in mathematics, science, and philosophy. It seemed to clarify the affiliation between mathematics and observations in science. This type of geometry was used to depart from literature-related paintings. It focused on animated, multimedia, and specifically four-dimensional (instead of three-dimensional) paintings. Rice Pereira, an American painter, found the elements of hyperspace philosophy. This philosophy included the glowing works of art that can relate to a mystical action or experience one may have encountered. Language or words is considered unreliable in this art, whereas the four dimensional paintings can speak for themselves. The imagination and enthusiasm of surrealist artists has brought hope and new ideas (like four-dimensional paintings) to modern art.

Malt, Johanna. "Surrealism, Art and Modern Science: Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Epistemology." French Studies 64.4 (2010), 502-503. Salvador Dali and Max Ernst became familiar with the philosophical views that go along with the works of Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, and Schrodinger. These enlightenment thinkers tied the science of physics with literature and the arts. The ideas of Physics are also known to serve as a significant connection to the deeper thoughts and practices associated with the Surrealist movement. Gaston Bacherald agrees with the ideas of space, relativity, and fourth-dimensional art likewise to Salvador Dali. These ideas of Bacherald and Dali correlate with the quantum theory in modern philosophy. Susan Whitney of the Catholic and Communist Party stresses the importance of gender relations and art. She believes that new literature will correspond with twentieth-century art.

Bell, Michael S. "Surrealism: An Alternative Approach: Veristic Attitudes in the Work and Writings of Contemporary Surrealists." Leonardo 17. 4 (1984): 247-252. The MIT Press. Web. 8 Nov. 2010 This article talks about how automatism (a form of ideas/conceptions) has been the main focus of surrealism and all the people in history involved with it since the 1940s. Many artists have chosen to stick to the latest and most common trends and end up writing their own philosophical views for others to focus on while observing the artistic movement. The words of surrealist artists can prove their true appreciation of their own work, but can be misunderstood with writings and literature pertaining to the artists'' work. It has been understood that surrealist work has been divided into three divisions: automatists, families of artistic content, and the fact that little research has been done to provide new facts about Surrealism. A new form of surrealist art that is discussed in this article is called veristic. Veristic is a form of representational art pertaining to images "beyond illusion." Miran Ahn has studied the dream-conception of Surrealism. She relates the unrealistic images of surreal art to contemporary paintings. She believes that some think surrealism is not worthy as a movement in art because of its imaginary images. Ahn believes that traditional contemporary art can be damaging to surrealism because it is seen as a insensible cliché.
