Question

What is the relationship between SURREALISM and Spanish culture? especially the Spanish Civil War?

Answer 1

Wow.  I can't think of one.

Surrealism was a movement primarily championed by Salvador Dali, who was Spanish but not particularly concerned with the Spanish Civil War.  Dali painted dreamscapes, informed by Freudian psychology.

Only a couple of Dali's paintings are connected with the Spanish Civil War: "Soft Construction with Boiled Beans" depicts a person in self-injury; "Canabalismo" depicts two beings feeding one another.  The impression is not politically oriented, rather a reaction against the general inhumanity of the conflict.
