Eggener, Keith L. "'An Amusing Lack of Logic': Surrealism and Popular Entertainment." American Art. 7.4 (1993): 30-45. The University of Chicago Press on behalf of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Web. 10 Nov. 2010. This article talks about how Surrealism impacted American Art starting in the 1930s. Socialites across America were introduced to this movement by going to Surrealist Costume Balls and flipping through fashion magazines that contained this new form of art. Salvador Dali's "Dream of Venus" captured the attention of many and soon people were craving a desire to dream like him. Many do not realize that this movement was first accessible to and received by Americans. Surrealism actually evolved from trendsetters in fashion and entertainment within America and Europe. "The earliest examples of genuine Surrealist art to be seen in America were probably those included in Katherine Dreier's Sociata Anonyme exhibition of modern European and American art." Most information that Americans had about Surrealism came from printed articles in newspapers or magazines. Many surrealist authors related their work to the illusionary branch of Salvador Dali's work. He was by far the most influential person in this movement. Surrealism was not meant to be a type of revolution, but new insight or beginning for art.

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.

Tuan, Yi-Fu. "Realism and Fantasy in Art, History, and Geography." Annals of the Association of American Geographers. 80.3 (1990): 435-446.

It is important for everyone to have hopes and dreams in order to eliminate the feeling of being trapped and restricted your whole life. Art can incline the imagination in our crucial society.

The past provides legends and myths along with cultural traditions. Geography provides us with a universal reality. Geography would be dull without imagination and fantasies. Geography is compared to art and history while focusing on a surreal reality.
