but Bergson didn`t think about Surrealism nor Freud. But as Cezanne placed phylosophical themes in the center as a drive, how long can you look at a stone and not been declared mad, or at mount Victory and thinking about the relativity of form and colors. Photografie was invented, are we painter artists ore oldfashioned artisans --- and than came the brake of the second world war and abstract art and surrealistic art became the expression of freedom and humanismn in oposition to the official arts in Germany, Italy, Russia, China.....and now after after after the unthoughtthrough avalenches of mostly so called wordly justifications in diletant imitations of philosophy that announces impotant art pieces or follow them are shamefull ridicule. Art historian are Art Historian and mostly are coming after the artist^s creations.

I have always struggled with the desert pilgrimages of art theory
the writing so dense you need a matchbook cover to parse the writers vegetation from the bones of academia
the surrealist manifestos were and are delightful corruptions of reason
Freud lived mostly in Vienna and smoked cigarres or pipes and drank some coffey, but not so much than Balsac who did not smoke cigarres and did not eat meet and no slices of Jesus for breakfast.
Dali heard about him and others too and started to illustrate dreams and got attention.
But Picasso was by definition as surreal as any other abstract artist.
We are not suposed to be creatif , the scientist can`t find what it is. But art does not exist without any others ear, or eye, or nose, or understaning, so let`s hopp together, said the rabbit to the porcyupaine. (an old greque saying).
that said, your postulate is well informed for those of us who have read between the lines where all the good stuff waits
the surrealists laid several manifestos I had one for breakfast this morning with a slice of jesus toast that I purchased on ebay
surrealist art came after surrealist poetry which in turn emerged from dada's broken bones
the men and women of surrealism broke every rule in the book without the help of recreational drugs though a bottle of wine here and there was never far out of reach
surrealism dared to discover the marvelous
a crime for which they can never be forgiven
what kind of germanic history speculative or otherwise is available my readings spare as they are from an academic perspective only go back to pippin
my mother was a german teenager when adolf was still throwing glass ink wells at battle maps of the eastern front
