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.
