00163--How did Surrealism contribute to the desacralization of the image of the author?




Surrealism was a French movement of the 1920’s.  Surrealism advocated free creativity.  It allows the hand to exercise full freedom leading to ‘automative writing’.  It does not give the head as much importance as is given to the hand.  Surrealism allows one to violate logical reason, standard, morality, social and artistic conventions and norms.  It aimed to ensure the unhampered operation of the deep mind.
