Surrealism

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.

Surrealism, then, neither aims to subvert realism, as does the fantastic, nor does it try to transcend it. It looks for different means by which to explore reality itself.
Michael Richardson, Dedalus Book of Surrealism 2: The Myth of the World

Salvador Dalí
Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
Salvador Dali
