Here comes a list of web resources that may be handy for anyone researching this particular area of modernist art.
Surrealism.org
This website contains short versions of biographies summarizing the greatest artistic achievements of world-famous surrealists. There are only seven names mentioned, though. It could have been more. The site also doesn’t contain too many links and thus can’t be used as a referral source. On the other hand, it may suffice for someone who needs quick look-it-up info. The site has a very well-equipped online store featuring non-fiction books and movie DVDs relating to different aspects of surrealism.
Surrealism.co.uk
An online gallery dedicated to both historical and contemporary surrealist works. Artists wishing to expose their surrealist talents to the web audience are invited to submit their works and have three samples featured by the site. It does involve some costs, but they are minor.
Surrealist.com
Probably the richest and most accurate web resource covering all aspects of the surrealist movement. It contains a list of nearly all significant figures in the development of the surrealist thought – from artists to psycho analytics. It features the original version of the Surrealist Manifesto written by Andre Breton. It also contains a lot of sources relating the history of surrealism, and numerous links to other websites.
The Literary Encyclopedia
The webpage dedicated to surrealism makes comparisons to the Dadaist movement.
Encyclopedia.com
A rich resource containing short articles on different aspects of the surrealist movement. It can be very useful for students doing research in the area. The site gives a possibility to compare definitions of surrealism between various dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Madsci.org
This website is one of a kind. Apart from articles on surrealism, it contains fun games and quizzes connected with the movement. It refers not only to visual arts, but also to the surrealist study of sound and writing. The site features numerous exercises connected with Dali’s concept of Critical Paranoia as well as the practice of automatic writing. Other than that, the website provides very accurate classifications of surrealist artists according to location and movement.
Gosurreal.com
Another interesting website. It contains many links to surrealists’ profiles and famous, world-known works of art. Its articles are relatively short but informative and can be used for looking up any necessary information.
Surrealismcenter.ac.uk
A website containing “Papers of Surrealism”, that is a collection of critical essays and research papers exploring different facets of the surrealist philosophy. Editors of the website accept submissions supplied in accordance with very specific guidelines.
