Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920's, and is best known for the paintings and sculptures of the group members, though they had a deep philosophy as well.
Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. For instance their leader Andre Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.
Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920's on, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music, of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy and social theory.
The main aim of surrealism was to express the fundamental nature of thought. Keep that at the back of your mind as you take a look at the calendars that feature surrealist art. Certainly many of these images have more to do with dreams than our ordinary reality.

2011, 2012 Planners featuring Salvador Dali
Painter, sculptor, writer and film maker, Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics-- and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting. Dali brought extraordinary sensitivity, imagination and concern for precision to bear upon submerged levels of consciousness.
The calendar features 52 surreal paintings plus plenty of space for all of your notes and appointments.
