Surrealism. Surrealism moved beyond reality and looked to dreams instead of logic to create a ‘true’ reality. It was André Bretons, “The Surrealist Manifesto” that first sought to unify the reality of the mind with the reality that surrounds us. Surrealist theatre reflected a belief that the unconscious mind is a source of artistic truth. In his manifesto on surrealism, Breton (1924)

The Effects of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto on Human Values What was it like living in the times before the Communist Manifesto was introduced to society? What kind of affect did this document have on the values of the average family? How did it influence the values of the individual? Sometimes these values where affected in a way that does not come directly from the release of the Manifesto but instead vicariously through other events brought on by the document. Overall, an interesting

FUTURISM Futurism (lat. Futurus = future) was a movement in literature, visual art, fashion, architecture, theatre, music and film in the early 20th century, launched by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Futurism appeared as a fervent denouncer of the past. Italian art represented the past Ancient, Renaissance and Baroque art and culture. In the early 1900s, Italian artists and writers believed that the “Machine Age” could have changed the situation and develop into a new awareness. F. Marinetti

As a Surrealist pioneer, Ernst’s art displayed some of the most radical and unorthodox imagery in the early 1920s. Violence and pain were perhaps the most avant-garde elements of Ernst’s art, and this perception is on full display in one of Ernst collages displayed during Breton’s Paris Au Sans Pareil exhibition, The Preparation of Bone Glue. It depicts “a diathermy process in which an electrical current treats joint ailments” (Kavky 2012); his use of violence and pain as “both cause and cure intensifies

Without economic equality in the society, freedom and political equality could not be achieved. The manifesto was to advocate for the redistribution of resources as the most effective way of promoting democracy far beyond the earlier democracy which is practiced in a capitalist society. Through the establishment of communist society, resources and social

The term "grotesque" in art and literature, commonly refers to the juxtaposition of extreme contrasts such as horror and humor, or beauty and monstrosity, or desire and revulsion. One function of this juxtaposition of the rational and the irrational is to subdue or normalize the unknown, and thereby control it. The simultaneity of mutually exclusive emotional states, and the discomfort it might cause, inspires a Freudian analytic critical approach because of its focus on controlling repressed

(Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). In the year of 2001 many proponents met in Utah and came to discuss and agree on underlying principles (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). Through this discussion they came up with the “The Agile Manifesto” (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). There is

allure about it. The way in which it was approached and is approached today is similar in a sense of strength and power. In his manifesto Tzara is clear that ‘dada was born of a need of independence’ (Tzara, 1918), this does not only imply that there was no independence in terms of art, but also that Constructivism needed to be moved forward. In Tristen Tzara’s Dadaist Manifesto he does not only have a fighting attitude toward Dada, but also has resilient opinion on the

The source of alienation and discontent has been argued by many people, like Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx. Marx believed that the source of man’s alienation came from society, specifically the economy and state. Freud argued that discontentment came from a more personal place, on more of a psychological level. Marx’s solution was to abolish private property, eliminating people’s feelings of not seeing their work pay off. Freud’s method to eliminate discontentment was for people to attend therapy.

“All written history is the history of class struggles” (Marx). In the year 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels decided to publish a manifesto after sitting down and sharing ideas for a period of time. Today, that piece of writing is known as The Communist Manifesto. In this book, Marx, the principal author stated that escaping from alienation required a revolution. That was the only possible way in which a political as well as a social change could have been seen. Therefore, Marx’ theory implied
