Discover original contemporary Surrealism artworks on Artmajeur
Original contemporary Surrealism artworks are a fascinating and captivating genre of art that uses imagination to create dreamlike and often bizarre images. Surrealism artists often use unconventional materials such as oil, acrylic, and mixed media on canvas, paper, or wood. These materials are often manipulated to create unique textures, shapes, and colors that add depth and dimension to the artwork. What sets Surrealism apart from other art movements is its ability to challenge the viewer’s perception of reality and to evoke strong emotions through its use of symbolism, juxtaposition, and distorted imagery. Surrealism artworks often leave the viewer with a sense of wonder and mystery, inviting them to explore their own unconscious mind and the deeper meanings behind the artwork.

Origins and History
Original contemporary Surrealism artworks emerged in the early 1920s, in the aftermath of World War I. This movement was a reaction to the rationalism and logic of the Enlightenment era, and its aim was to explore the unconscious mind and the irrational aspects of human psyche. Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, and Rene Magritte were some of the most important artists of the Surrealist movement, which peaked in the 1930s.

Evolutions of theses works in the contemporary art market
The recent evolution of original contemporary Surrealism artworks has been marked by a renewed interest in the works of the early Surrealist artists of the 20th century. This has led to a resurgence in the use of traditional Surrealist techniques such as automatism and the exploration of the subconscious mind.

Notable original contemporary Surrealism artworks
One of the most well-known contemporary Surrealism artworks is "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali, created in 1931. This famous painting depicts melting clocks draped over various objects in a barren landscape, symbolizing the fluidity of time and the subconscious mind.
Another notable work is "The Treachery of Images" by Rene Magritte, painted in 1928-29. This piece features a hyper-realistic image of a pipe, accompanied by the text "Ceci n’est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe), challenging the viewer’s perception of reality and the limitations of language.
Yves Tanguy’s "Indefinite Divisibility" from 1942 is a haunting landscape of surreal forms that appear to be both organic and mechanical, evoking a sense of otherworldliness and the unknown.
In 1937, Max Ernst created "The Robing of the Bride," a dreamlike depiction of a nude woman being dressed in a strange, bird-like ensemble by a group of faceless figures. This painting explores themes of transformation, gender roles, and the subconscious mind.
Frida Kahlo’s "The Two Fridas," painted in 1939, is a deeply personal and symbolic self-portrait of the artist as two versions of herself, split down the middle and connected by a visible artery. This work explores themes of identity, duality, and the emotional turmoil of the artist’s life.
Overall, these Surrealist artworks challenge the viewer’s perception of reality and delve into the depths of the human psyche, evoking a sense of wonder, mystery, and intrigue.
