Within surrealism, more specifically the surrealist group, contain works that are excessively subjective and imply precise notions about the scientific observation of nature, as well as the interpretation of dreams. Encapsulating the earlier ideas of Albert Einstein, there is a close resemblance to the theories that underlie quantum mechanics. Upon closer examination, Salvador Dali's artistic imagery and methodology, as well as those of André Breton, could be seen as expressions of the lucid subconscious. For example, André Breton emphasized the need to understand physics as surrealist, to interpret or distort "reality". In Breton's Break of Day he states: "Does every man of today, eager to conform to the directions of his time, feel that he can describe the latest biological discoveries, for example, or the theory of relativity?" By combining common themes in Dali's works we can begin to see connections with relativity, four-dimensional concepts, and dreams. When Dali was born in Spain in 1904, Matisse's masterpiece Luxe calme et volupté was exhibited at the first exhibition of the Fauves group. . Four years before Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams, and around this time Albert Einstein discovered relativity. Einstein's relativity combined with Plank's quantum quark theory destroyed the structure of the now obsolete Newtonian theories. With the rapid progress of art and science, which were destined to collide, and with the Surrealists' firm approach to the scientific method, it seems easy to agree that the studies of Einstein and other strong nuclear physicists would influence the group.
