Surrealism

A quick investigation into Surrealism in visual art.

As a quick investigation, select one piece of surrealist art – perhaps by the likes of Salvador Dali and investigate its context and meaning. What is it said to represent, and how did it come about?

Write a paragraph explaining your understanding of this. You are encouraged to include your own response to the art, and also to draw any parallels (if you see them) with The Book Thief.
