Before Surrealism: Before Surrealism, two movements shaped its vision. Symbolism, from the late 1800s, used allegory to explore inner emotions, with artists like Gauguin and Munch. Then came Dada, reacting to the chaos of World War I with spontaneity and irreverence. Many Dada artists including Duchamp, Ernst, and Man Ray went on to become Surrealism’s pioneers.
