Organic Surrealism

Organic Surrealism

Organic Surrealism is one of the two main poles in the surrealist movement in the visual arts. It is characterized by automatist techniques,[1] which its practitioners use in order to liberate unconscious associations in order to allow their creative imaginations to emerge in an open-ended manner.[2] Some noted artists who have been characterized as organic surrealists are Joan Miró, André Masson, and Max Ernst.[3]

The early work of some of the artists active in the Dada movement can be considered to fall into this category.[1] Organic surrealism was one of the major precursors to abstract expressionism.[4]
