Page "Surrealism" Paragraph 96

There is no clear consensus about the end, or if there was an end, to the Surrealist movement.

Some art historians suggest that World War II effectively disbanded the movement.

However, art historian Sarane Alexandrian ( 1970 ) states, " the death of André Breton in 1966 marked the end of Surrealism as an organized movement.

" There have also been attempts to tie the obituary of the movement to the 1989 death of Salvador Dalí.
