Surrealism developed as an aftermath of WWI. Dada had a great influence on the development of surrelaism. Surrealistic paintings usually consist of odd objects in odd positions/forms in nature/ everyday places, it can also be just odd shapes that look realistic in weird positions and places, and it can also be many object compiled together to make a larger object. Surrelaism can take both realistic and minimalistic approaches, some artists use flat color and line to make a surrealistic painting while some go into intricate detail and bring their painting to life. One of the key artists of this movement was Salvador Dali, his most famous painting is "The Persistence of Memory" which he painted in 1931.
