Abstract surrealism was formed in the visual arts and literature of the early twentieth century as an interpretation of the Western avant-garde movement. It was characterized by a special way of painting images of things that do not exist but capturing and transmitting them with the accuracy of a photographer, with a maximum degree of realism. Mirs artistic and creative approach to abstract surrealism has inspired contemporary art. The study of surrealism in the art of the twentieth century has given impetus to the search for new artistic methods and techniques, both in the fine arts and in decorative and applied works.</p>surrealismabstractionvisual artPsychoanalysiscreative techniquesart techniqueсюрреализмабстракцияизобразительное искусствопсихоанализтворческие приемытехники искусства[Gal’tsova, E.D.
