A timid surrealism

Abstract

Although Brazil did not see a full surrealist movement, some modernists identified with its aesthetic and certain guiding principles, such as the unconscious, and experimented with photomontage. But these experiences were overshadowed, at first, by the desire to create a national imaginary and, later, by the space conquered by more constructive works.
