Surrealism was not.
Almost all the artists who call themselves surrealists - not Surrealists.
Almost all of these surrealists were either unaware that they surrealists, or refused to consider themselves surrealists, or break with him.
Few of the admirers or detractors of surrealism sees the difference between the first and second.

This is the correct exegesis jokes

André Breton

Finally, first and most important theorist of Surrealism was not Andre Breton, and his father Paul Florensky.

In 1922, in Zagorsk - two years before the first Surrealist Manifesto in Paris - were written the words:

Art is oplotnevshee dream

Here's an extract from "zero" Manifesto of Surrealism Florensky:

So, the dream and the images are those that separate the visible world from the invisible world, separate and at the same time connect these worlds. This border point snovidcheskih by establishing them as a ratio to the world that, and to the world that. With regard to conventional images of the visible world, for what we call 'reality', the dream is "just a dream, nothing, nihil visibile, yes, nihil, but, however, visibile, - nothing, but, but, apparently, contemplated and the Near-obrazami this "reality". But his time, and hence its main characteristics are built back to what is visible world. Therefore, although visible, the dream through teleologichno, or symbolic. It is full of a sense of peace, it is - almost pure sense of another world, unseen, immaterial, timeless, although it is apparently, as if real. It is - almost pure sense, encased very thin, and therefore it is almost entirely a phenomenon of another world, a world.

The dream is the total limit of number of states and a number of Dolni experiences mountainous border refinement of the local and oplotneniya - Gdańsk. When immersed in a dream - a dream and the dream symbolized most lower experience heavenly world and the uppermost longitudinal: recent experiences of other bursts of reality, although already prednamechayutsya impressions of the local reality. That is why the dreams of the evening, before sleep, have a predominantly psycho-physiological significance, as a manifestation of what has accumulated in the heart of daily impressions, whereas the pre-dawn dream for the most mystical, because the soul is filled with night-consciousness and experience most of the night was clear and washed myself very empirical -- how she, the individual soul, is able to do it in this state to be free from bias perceptual world.

The dream is znamenovanie transition from one sphere to another and symbol. - What? - From the mountain - the symbol of the longitudinal and of the longitudinal - a symbol of the heavenly. Now it is clear that the dream can occur when both are given the consciousness of both shores of life, albeit with varying degrees of clarity. This is, generally speaking, while crossing from shore to shore, and perhaps also when the mind is kept near the border of transition and not entirely alien to the perception of the dual, ie, in a state of shallow sleep or drowsy wakefulness. All significant in most cases is either through a dream, or in some thin dream, "or, finally, - which find in a sudden separation from consciousness of external reality. However, there may be other phenomena and the invisible world, but they require a powerful blow to our essence, suddenly rend us from ourselves, or - shakiness, "twilight" of consciousness, always traveling at the border worlds, but not in possession of the ability and power to go deep amateur at one time or another.

What is said about the dream, must be repeated with slight modifications of any transition from sphere to sphere. Thus, in art soul admires from longitudinal peace and rises in heavenly peace. There, it eats without o'brazov contemplation of the essence of the heavenly world, feels eternal noumena of things and, fried, weighed ve'deniem to descend again into the world of Dolny. And then, with the way down at the border entry in Metric, its spiritual labors clothed in symbolic obrazy - the very ones who, having been fixed, give a work of art. For Art is oplotnevshee dream.

But here, in the artistic isolation from the daily consciousness, there is two points, as there are two kinds o'brazov: crossing the border worlds, corresponding to the ascent or entry into the mountain, and the transition descent dale. Images as the first - is discarded clothing daily hassles, scum of the soul, which has no place in a different world altogether - spiritually unsettled elements of our being, whereas the images of the descent - it is crystallized at the boundary of the world experience the mystical life. is mistaken and misleading, under the guise of art the artist gives us everything that arises in him when he raises his inspiration - only this time images of the ascent: we need a pre-dawn his dreams, bringing eternal coolness of blue, but what else is psychology and raw materials, no matter how they acted badly and no matter how cleverly designed and delicious. Just think about the same, it is easy to distinguish between those and the other on the basis of time: the descent of the Arts, as if it may be disconnected motivated, a teleologichno - crystal in the imaginary space-time ; the contrary, even at high connectivity motivations, art climbing constructed mechanically, in accordance with time, from which it is sent. Going from reality into an imaginary, naturalism gives an imaginary image of reality, an empty semblance of everyday life, Art is the opposite - symbolism - embodies the real images of different experiences and given them to do a reality.

And the same thing - in mysticism. Common law is everywhere the same: the soul admires from the visible and, losing sight of him, admires the region of the invisible - it is Dionysian dissolution of the ties visible. And soar gore ', the invisible, it drops again to appear, and then before her, there is symbolic images of the invisible world - the faces of things, ideas: it - apollinicheskoe vision of the spiritual world. It is tempting to take the spiritual, a spiritual way, instead of ideas - those dreams that surround, confuse and beguiling soul, when before it opens the way to another world. That spirits of this age are trying to retain consciousness in his world. The border with the world beyond, they, though local nature, are likened to creatures and spiritual realities of the world, speaking as a geometrically and physically, when podhozhdenii to the limit of this world, we enter the living conditions while continuously new, but very different from the ordinary conditions of daily life. And in this - the greatest spiritual danger podhozhdeniya to the limit of the world - with reluctance, because of worldly passions, or inability, for lack of spiritual wisdom - their own or someone else's intelligence director, or, finally, the powerless, when the spiritual body is unripe for the transition . The danger - in deception and self-deception, on the verge of the world surrounded by the traveler. World clings to his slave, stick, putting the network and tempted by allegedly reached in the field of spiritual release, and the keepers of these exits spirits and forces are not "custody threshold", ie not good defenders protected areas, there is no spiritual world, and followers "prince of air power, prelstiteli and deceivers, hindering the soul from the brink of the worlds. A sober day, when he holds his power in our soul, too obviously different from that of the spiritual, ie, beyond, to lay claim to the seduction, and its materiality is recognized as a serious, but help us yoke as good draft land, hampering our movement and together - gives a foothold, righteously, detaining the rapidity of our volitional act of self-determination, both good and evil, in general, stretching a single moment of eternity, ie, forever, angelic define themselves in one way or another at the time of our lives and makes life our earthly life, not stagnation, passively having an all pre-existing possibilities, but a feat of true samoustroeniya, Art Sculpture and chasing our being.
