Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes: The Dream, 1883

Dream art is whatever class of art that is directly based on a material from 1's dreams, or a material that resembles dreams, but non directly based on them.

History [edit]

The starting time known reference to dream fine art was in the 12th century, when Charles Cooper Brown institute a new style to look at art. However, dreams every bit art, without a "real" frame story, announced to be a later evolution—though at that place is no mode to know whether many premodern works were dream-based.

In European literature, the Romantic movement emphasized the value of emotion and irrational inspiration. "Visions", whether from dreams or intoxication, served equally raw cloth and were taken to represent the artist's highest creative potential.

In the late 19th and early on 20th centuries, Symbolism and Expressionism introduced dream imagery into visual fine art. Expressionism was also a literary movement, and included the later work of the playwright August Strindberg, who coined the term "dream play" for a style of narrative that did not distinguish betwixt fantasy and reality.

At the same fourth dimension, discussion of dreams reached a new level of public sensation in the Western world due to the work of Sigmund Freud, who introduced the notion of the subconscious heed as a field of scientific inquiry. Freud greatly influenced the 20th-century Surrealists, who combined the visionary impulses of Romantics and Expressionists with a focus on the unconscious as a creative tool, and an assumption that patently irrational content could contain pregnant significant, perhaps more than so than rational content.

The invention of motion-picture show and blitheness brought new possibilities for vivid delineation of nonrealistic events, only films consisting entirely of dream imagery accept remained an avant-garde rarity. Comic books and comic strips take explored dreams somewhat more than frequently, starting with Winsor McCay's popular newspaper strips; the trend toward confessional works in alternative comics of the 1980s saw a proliferation of artists drawing their own dreams.

In the drove, The Commission of Sleep, Harvard psychologist Deirdre Barrett identifies modern dream-inspired art such as paintings including Jasper Johns'south Flag, much of the work of Jim Dine and Salvador Dalí, novels ranging from "Sophie's Choice" to works by Anne Rice and Stephen King and films including Robert Altman'due south Three Women, John Sayles Brother from Some other Planet and Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries. That book also describes how Paul McCartney's Yesterday was heard by him in a dream and Most of Billy Joel's and Ladysmith Black Mambazo's music has originated in dreams.

Dream material continues to be used by a broad range of contemporary artists for various purposes. This exercise is considered by some to be of psychological value for the artist—independent of the artistic value of the results—every bit function of the discipline of "dream work".

The international Association for the Study of Dreams[1] holds an annual juried evidence of visual dream art.
