If you mean Surrealism ( sur = up over / not under = [german:] uper =
superior = super )
then yes we have accomplished something the last century, but what it is
IS not exactly
known. Surrealism as frozen institute is what the nameless surrealism of
today dislikes.
Idiotic or "real" recipe's are actually what surrealism is not. Hegel's
thesis - antithesis - synthesis
is a curious example of a dialectic recipe that is not surrealistic. And
if you think about Hegel
as a religious person then I wouldn't talk of him in the same breath as
Andre Breton.
Heraclitus is surly the example to quote, if any. Silence is golden. The
20th century was
a noisy century. And the dream is still a curiosity among men, and so it
must be, and now
that I think of it, surrealism has helped to increase the wonder of
men's innermost thoughts.
