“SURREALISM, n. m. Pure psychic automatism by means of which one intends to express, either verbally, or in writing, or in any other manner, the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, free of any aesthetic or moral concern.”
From “https://triapul.cz/b/breton-andre-first-manifesto-of-surrealism.txt”.
If I may: " … However, surrealist art cannot ever be produced with any intent and cannot therefore aim to create a specific aesthetic." “The resulting aesthetic of surrealistic output is always a by-product. Indeed there is a recognizable style to the last century’s surrealistic works, but it was a result of that age. True surrealism of today will not produce similarly looking visual art, because today’s minds are influenced much differently from the minds of the old surrealists.” ( from: https://analognowhere.com/unix_surrealism/#unix_surrealism … look for: “a word on aesthetics”).
