Surrealist influences in advertising



While the surrealist movement is not as strong today, it has influenced a lot of media we use, such as films, advertisements, music, philosophy and sculptures and has Here is an example of an advertisement. 

This picture takes a lot of influences from surrealism with the way the bottle merges in with the mountain. Many surrealism paintings are still very popular even today, one of the most famous being Salvador Dali's piece 'the persistence of memory'. One painting with the most meaning would be Rene magritte's piece of work 'this is not a pipe' which was a painting of a pipe, but he said that it was not a pipe because it was picture of a pipe and not a real pipe. These meaningful pictures helped shape surrealism and people still look at these pictures and the thoughts behind them to influence their works today and it has shifted into a much wider market and is seen almost everywhere.
