The article focuses on the visual nature of surrealism and examines linguistic features of surrealist poetry. The author outlines the aesthetic principles of surrealism as presented in the works of the movement leader Andre Breton.
It is stated that surrealists recognized the value of the image for poetic construction and attributed to it the role of a vehicle for inspiring the creative forces of the unconscious and liberating poetic imagination. This brought forward a form of linguistic revolution. Surrealistic imagery is verbalized through the cult of metaphor, synesthesia, arbitrary and spontaneous combination of words.
Reminiscence and hypotyposis became the key concepts of surrealist poetry revealing the specifics of intermedial connections of literary texts and works of art, their dialogue as different semiotic systems.
