Post-surrealism is a movement that arose in Southern California in 1934 when Helen Lundeberg and Lorser Feitelson wrote a manifesto explaining their desire to use art to convey the relationship between the perceptual and the conceptual.[1][2]
Sometimes this term is used to refer to art movement related to or influenced by surrealism, which occurred after a so-called period of "historical surrealism". According to an article on the website acearchive.org, some surrealists have claimed that the term is unnecessary, because surrealism continues to the present day.[3] Modern-day surrealist activity is sometimes called "post surrealism" by advocates of the idea that surrealism is "dead".
