Surrealism developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I. Artists aimed to allow the unconscious mind to express itself, often resulting in the depiction of illogical or dreamlike scenes and ideas.

Early Surrealism
"I once heard a definition of Surrealism described in three varying ways:
1) Normal everyday objects acting in abnormal ways. ie: a cow flying.
2) Abnormal things acting in a normal ways. ie: a three headed cow walking.
3) Abnormal things acting in abnormal ways. ie: a three headed cow flying.
Seeing the paintings of Salvatore Dali, and other early surrealists made a big impression on me, my work, and my thinking. The paintings in this section express varying aspects of these influences."
Doug in his 20's with his painting,"The Battle of Art and Music"
