Surrealism in art, poetry and literature uses many techniques and games to inspire. Many of these are said to be free imagination by producing a creative process that is free from conscious control. The importance of unconsciousness as a source of inspiration is essential to the nature of surrealism.
The surrealist movement has been one of many since the beginning. The value and role of various techniques has become one of many subjects of disagreement. Some Surrealists consider automatism and play to be a source of inspiration, while others consider them to be the starting point for finished work. Others assume the items created through automatism will finish working on their own, no need for further refinement.

Automatism
- Automatic image
- Automatic painting
- Automatic writing
- Automatic poems are poems written using automated methods. This may have been the main surrealist method of establishing surrealism to date. One of the most strange uses of automatic writing by a great author is the work of W. B. Yeats. His wife, a spiritualist, practiced it, and Yeats put the big pieces into his prose work, A Vision and much of his later poetry. However, Yeats is not a surrealist.
Automatic poetry generators exist online, but they do not actually generate automated poetry in this sense.
The Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal used the automatic text method in his famous book I Served the King of England. One chapter in this book is written as one sentence, and at the end of Hrabal's book supports the use of automatic writing.
Bullet
Bullets are shooting ink on a blank sheet of paper. The artist can then develop the image based on what is seen.
Calligramme
A calligramme is a text or poem of a type developed by Guillaume Apollinaire in which words or letters form shapes, especially shapes connected to the subject of text or poetry.
Collage
Collage is a collection of shapes that form a new whole. For example, artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, colored or handmade pieces of paper, photographs, etc., attached to strong support or canvas.
Coulage
A coulage is a type of automatic or accidental sculpture made by pouring liquids (such as metal, wax, brown or white chocolate) into cold water. As the cooling material takes what appears to be a random (or aleatoric) shape, although the physical properties of the ingredients involved can lead to conglomeration of discs or spheres. Artists can use various techniques to influence the outcome.
This technique is also used in the forecast process known as ceromancy.
Cubomania
Cubomania is a collage method in which images or images are cut into boxes and boxes and then rearranged without regard to the image. This technique was first used by Romanian Surrealist Gherasim Luca.
Cut-up Techniques
Cut-up Techniques is a literary form or method in which text is randomly cut and rearranged to create new texts.
Decalcomania
Decalcomania is the process of spreading thick paint on canvas then - while still wet - covering it with further materials such as paper or aluminum foil. The closure is then removed (again before the paint dries), and the resulting paint pattern becomes the base of the finished painting. This technique is widely used by artists like Max Ernst.
Dream rÃÆ' à © sumÃÆ' à ©
The dream rà © sumÃÆ'à © takes the form of work rà © sumÃÆ'à © but chronicles the performance of his subject, occupation, or the like, in dreams, rather than in real life. Sometimes a dream rà © sumÃÆ'à © s contains the achievements of both, however.
Echo poem
A echo poem is a poem written using a technique created by AurÃÆ'à © lien Dauguet in 1972. This poem is composed by one or more people, working together in a process as follows.
The first "poem" of the poem is written in the left column of a piece of paper divided into two columns. Then the "inverse", or "echo", from the first stanza, in whatever sense corresponds to the poem, is arranged in the right column of the page. The writing is done automatically and often the "opposite" verse consists of phonetic correspondence with the first stanza.
For longer works, a third stanza can be started in the left-hand column as "opposite" or phonetic correspondence with what preceded it in the right-hand column. Then the fourth verse may be the "opposite" or sound correspondence with what preceded it in the left column, and so on. When the poem is finished, the last sentence, line, or phrase echo, generally serves as the title.
This does not relate to the non-surreal form of the echo verse that emerges as a dialogue between character questions and answers from Echo nymph.
ÃÆ' â ⬠° claboussure
ÃÆ' â ⬠° claboussure is a process in a surrealist painting where oil paint or watercolor is laid and water or turpent splatter, then soaked to reveal a random spark or dots where the media is removed. This technique gives the appearance of space and atmosphere. It was used in paintings by Remedios Varo.
Enclavic Grafomania
Enzoic Graphania is a surreal and automatic drawing method in which the points are made in the polluter places on a blank piece of paper, and the line is then made between the points; this could be "curved lines... or straight lines.". Ithell Colquhoun describes the results as "the most violent type of geometric abstraction." It must be distinguished from the "entop t ic" method for drawing or making art, which is inspired by entoptic phenomena.
This method was discovered by Dolfi Trost, who as his sub-book 1945 ("Vision dans le cristal" Oniromancie obsessionelle, "Et neuf graphomanies entopiques"), includes nine examples in it. This "unreadable" method of reading (see below) is considered an example of "surautomatism", the controversial theory proposed by Trost and Gherashim Luca in which the surrealist method will be practiced that "surpasses" automatism. In their Dialectical de Dialectique they have proposed further radicalization of surreal automatism by abandoning images produced by artistic techniques that support "the results of strictly applied scientific procedures," allegedly bypassing the "artist" idea of ââthe manufacturing process image and replace it with scientific rigor and rigor. However, the question arises whether an algorithm should be used to determine the order to connect the dots to maintain the "automatic" nature of the method.
This method has been compared with the "development of voronoi math".
ÃÆ' â ⬠° trÃÆ' à © cissements
Collage is considered an additional method of visual poetry while ÃÆ' â ⬠° trÃÆ' à © cissements is a reductive method. It was first used by Marcel Marión in the 1950s. The result is achieved by cutting the parts of the image to encourage a new image, using scissors or other sharpened manipulative instruments.
Beautiful corpse
beautiful bodies or Cadavre exquis are the methods used to collect collected words or images collectively. It is based on an old parlor game known by the same name (as well as Consequences) where the player writes on a piece of paper, folds it to hide parts of the writing, and then forwarded to the next player for further contributions.
Frottage
Frottage is a method of making where a person takes a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a "rub" on a textured surface. Images can be left as is or used as a basis for further refinement.
Fumage
Fumage is a technique where impressions are made by smoke from candles or kerosene lamps on a sheet of paper or canvas. This technique was introduced by Wolfgang Paalen.
Games
In Surrealism, the game is important not only as a form of recreation but as a method of inquiry. The goal is to trim the constraints of rationalism and allow the concept to develop more freely and in a more random manner. The goal is to break the traditional mindset and create more original results.
Old games such as the Exquisite corpse, and later, especially Time Travelers' Potlatch and Parallel Collage, have played an important role.
The beautiful body is a method used to collect collections of words or pictures collectively, the result is known as a very beautiful corpse or cadavre exquis in French. Later this game is adapted to images and collages.
Time Travelers' Potlatch is a game where two or more players say what gift they will give to others - this is usually a historical person who plays a role in, or has an influence on, the formation of Surrealism.
Grattage
Grattage is a surreal technique in painting where the paint (usually wet) is scraped off the canvas. It was employed by Max Ernst and Joan MirÃÆ'ó.
Heatage
Heatage is an automated technique developed and used by David Hare in which unexposed photographic negativity is not heated from below, causing emulsions (and images produced, when developed) to distort randomly.
Unreadable text
In addition to the obvious meaning of unauthorized writing or for any other reason that readers can not make, unreadable writing refers to a series of automated techniques, most developed by Romanian surrealists and falls under the heading surautomatism. Examples include entomic graphomania, fumage and fluid movement down the vertical surface.
Unconscious statue
Surrealism describes as an "unconscious statue" made with daydreaming, such as twisting and unrolling movie tickets, bending paper clips, and so on.
Latent news
Latent news is a game where an article from a newspaper is cut into individual words (or possibly phrases) and then quickly rearranged; see also Cut-up technique.
Movement of vertical sub-surface fluid
The vertical surface fluid movement is, as the name implies, a technique, created by Surrealists and Romanians and is said by them as surautomatic and unreadable forms of writing, drawing images by drips or allowing the flow of some form of fluid into vertical subsurface.
Outagraphy
The outagraph is the photo where the subject is, what the photo was "from," cut off. This method was discovered by Ted Joans.
Paranoiac-critical method
The Paranoiac-critical method is a technique invented by Salvador DalÃÆ' consisting of artists who beg for paranoid circumstances (fearing that they are being manipulated, targeted or controlled by others). The result is the deconstruction of the psychological concept of identity, so subjectivity becomes the main aspect of the artwork.
Parsemage
Parsemage is a surreal and automatic method in the visual arts found by Ithell Colquhoun in which dust from colored charcoal or chalk is scattered over the water surface and then skim off by passing through rigid paper or cardboard just below the surface of the water.
Photomontage
Photomontage is a composite image creation by cutting and merging multiple photos.
Soufflage
Soufflage is a Surrealist technique derived from Jimmy Ernst in which liquid paint is blown to inspire or reveal images.
Surautomatism
Surautomatism is the theory or act of taking automatism to the most ridiculous limits.
Triptography
Triptography is an automated photographic technique in which the film roll is used three times (either by the same photographer or, in the spirit of Exquisite Corpse, three different photographers), causing it to be exposed in three in such a way that the possibility of each photo having a subject which is obvious and almost impossible. Indeed, finding each side on the negative itself during the development process is an almost impossible task. Usually the development of such film rolls is an exercise in automatic techniques in and of itself, cutting the film by counting the sprocket holes only, regardless of the image in the negative. The result has a quality that is reminiscent of a period of transition in sleep when one dream suddenly becomes another.
Creativist Christopher Thurlow claimed to have discovered this technique when his impulse to continue taking photos was suddenly challenged by the fact that he had run out of unexpressed films.
