Surrealism
Surrealism is a cultural movement that developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I in which artists depicted unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself. Its aim was, according to leader André Breton, to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or ''surreality.'' It produced works of painting, writing, theatre, filmmaking, photography, and other media. Works of Surrealism feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and '' non sequitur''. However, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost (for instance, of the "pure psychic automatism" Breton speaks of in the first Surrealist Manifesto), with the works themselves being secondary, i.e. artifacts of surrealist experimentation. Leader Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a ...

Abstraction (art)
Typically, ''abstraction'' is used in the arts as a synonym for abstract art in general. In the visual arts Strictly speaking, it refers to art unconcerned with the literal depiction of things from the visible world—it can, however, refer to an object or image which has been distilled from the real world, or indeed, another work of art. Artwork that reshapes the natural world for expressive purposes is called abstract; that which derives from, but does not imitate a recognizable subject is called nonobjective abstraction. In the 20th century the trend toward abstraction coincided with advances in science, technology, and changes in urban life, eventually reflecting an interest in psychoanalytic theory. Later still, abstraction was manifest in more purely formal terms, such as color, freedom from objective context, and a reduction of form to basic geometric designs and shapes. In music In music, the term ''abstraction'' can be used to describe improvisatory approaches to interpr ...

Realism (art)
Realism in the arts is generally the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding speculative and supernatural elements. The term is often used interchangeably with naturalism, although these terms are not synonymous. Naturalism, as an idea relating to visual representation in Western art, seeks to depict objects with the least possible amount of distortion and is tied to the development of linear perspective and illusionism in Renaissance Europe. Realism, while predicated upon naturalistic representation and a departure from the idealization of earlier academic art, often refers to a specific art historical movement that originated in France in the aftermath of the French Revolution of 1848. With artists like Gustave Courbet capitalizing on the mundane, ugly or sordid, realism was motivated by the renewed interest in the common man and the rise of leftist politics. The Realist painters rejected Romanticism, which had come to dominate Fren ...

Forces Nouvelles De Côte D'Ivoire
The Forces Nouvelles de Côte d'Ivoire (English: ''New Forces of Ivory Coast''; abbreviated FNCI, FN or FAFN) is a political coalition that was formed in December 2002, in the wake of the first peace accords of the Ivorian Civil War. Composition FNCI includes these political parties: *Patriotic Movement of Côte d'Ivoire (''Mouvement patriotique de Côte d'Ivoire'', MPCI) *Ivorian Popular Movement of the Great West (''Mouvement populaire ivoirien du Grand Ouest'', MPIGO) * Movement for Justice and Peace (''Mouvement pour la justice et la paix'', MJP) While the political coalition under which these parties operate is formally called the Forces Nouvelles de Côte d'Ivoire, in fact the MJP has folded into the MPCI, and the MPCI stands in for the coalition itself. There is no active FNCI organization independent of the MPCI as of 2007. The phrase ''Forces Nouvelles'' remains a shorthand for the rebel side in the civil war. Following the signing of a peace agreement on March 4, 2 ...

Parti Des Forces Nouvelles
Parti des forces nouvelles (PFN) or Party of New Forces was a French far-right political party formed in November 1974 from the ''Comité faire front'', a group of anti-Jean-Marie Le Pen dissidents who had split from the National Front (FN). Development The group included amongst its early members most of the membership of Ordre Nouveau, which had dissolved not long before the formation of the PFN, Alain Robert (the founder of Occident and the Groupe Union Défense or GUD), the academic Pascal Gauchon, the journalists François Brigneau and Roland Gaucher and the draughtsman Jack Marchal. A youth movement, ''Front de la jeunesse'', was formed, although the party was also closely linked to GUD. The ON militants had formed a group called the ''Faire Front'' and in September 1973 merged into the Front National, isolating leader Jean-Marie le Pen by taking two-thirds of the seats on the party's national executive. However, in a court case that followed le Pen succeeded in gaining ...

Party Of New Forces (Belgium)
Parti des forces nouvelles (PFN) or Party of New Forces was a Belgian far-right political party active in Wallonia. Although they share a name it is not directly connected to the Party of New Forces in France. Emergence The PFN first emerged in 1975 under the name ''Forces Nouvelles'', initially operating as a coalition of like-minded extremists rather than a political party.Christopher T. Husbands, "Belgium: Flemish Legions on the March", Paul Hainsworth (ed.), ''The Extreme Right in Europe & the USA'', Pinter, 1992, p. 133 Early members of the group had come from the '' Front de la Jeunesse''.Piero Ignazi, ''Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe'', Oxford University Press, 2006, p. 128 Its early years were dominated by internal struggles, resulting in the group doing little publicly between 1975 and 1980 due to this strife. In 1979 the group was instrumental in the formation of ''Eurodroite'', an alliance of European far-right political parties that also included the Italian S ...
