Bizarre

Return To Glossary

The Bizarre style is closely linked to the Surrealist movement, which was founded in the early 1920s in Paris. The movement emerged as a reaction to the chaos and destruction of the First World War, and sought to visually combine dreams and reality. The resultant works are famous for their juxtapositions of the everyday with the unexpected, creating strange images of distorted objects in unusual landscapes.
