Post-surrealism is a movement that arose in Southern California in 1934 when Helen Lundeberg and Lorser Feitelson wrote a manifesto explaining their desire to use art to convey the relationship between the perceptual and the conceptual.
Sometimes this term is used to refer to art movement related to or influenced by surrealism, which occurred after a so-called period of "historical surrealism". According to an article on the website acearchive.org, some surrealists have claimed that the term is unnecessary, because surrealism continues to the present day. Modern-day surrealist activity is sometimes called "post surrealism" by advocates of the idea that surrealism is "dead".
