Surrealism

This is taken from www.artmovements.co.uk:

A literary and art movement, dedicated to expressing the imagination as revealed in dreams, free of the conscious control of reason and convention. Surrealism inherited its anti-rationalist sensibility from Dada, but was lighter in spirit than that movement. Like Dada, it was shaped by emerging theories on our perception of reality, the most obvious influence being Freud's model of the subconscious. Founded in Paris in 1924 by André Breton with his Manifesto of Surrealism, the movement's principal aim was 'to resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality'.

Some artists from this movement are:

Marcel Duchamp

Max Ernst

Rene Magritte

Joan Miro

Salvador Dali

Man Ray

Pablo Picasso

I've already researched into Pablo Picasso and Rene Magritte and no other artists on this list are very well known apart from Salvador Dali. I bet you know what's going to be the next post...
