This task is given by Yesh as a part of study as we are having 'The Waste Land' poem by TSEliot in our Syllabus Of MA, Department of English, Maharashtra Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University.
Surrealism:
The Surrealists sought to channel the unconscious as a means to unlock the power of the imagination. Disdaining rationalism and literary realism, and powerfully influenced by psychoanalysis, the Surrealists believed the rational mind repressed the power of the imagination, weighing it down with taboos. Influenced also by Karl Marx, they hoped that the psyche had the power to reveal the contradictions in the everyday world and spur revolution. Their emphasis on the power of personal imagination puts them in the tradition of Romanticism, but unlike their forebears, they believed that revelations could be found on the street and in everyday life. The Surrealist impulse to tap the unconscious mind, and their interests in myth and primitivism, went on to shape many later movements, and the style remains influential to this day.

Expressionism
Expressionism is a modernist movement that first developed around 1905 and continued until around the end of World War II. Expressionist artists sought to represent the world from a subjective perspective by using color and distortion of the subject to evoke moods and achieve an emotional effect. Expressionism was initially very popular as an avant-garde style of painting and expanded to other art forms including poetry, architecture, dance, and music, with influences intermingling at various points in history.
History of Expressionism:
Expressionism originated in northern Europe, namely Germany, Austria, France, and Russia, in the years before the First World War. Expressionist art coexisted with other early twentieth-century art movements that also worked to challenge the modern world such as Dadaism, Cubism, Futurism, and Surrealism.
The origin of the term Expressionism is often debated by art historians, although it was likely coined between 1901 and 1910. Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh are widely regarded as being highly influential on the Expressionist movement. Regarding their work in the 1880s and 1890s, during the post-Impressionist period, van Gogh and Munch's unique and expressive painting styles used color and line to explore dramatic themes, intense emotions, and various states of mind from a more subjective perspective than the artists and movements that came before them.
Expressionism distanced itself from art historical tradition by rejecting the reverence for history painting, genre painting, and portraiture held by European art academies. Expressionism did not idealize its subjects, nor did it place them in a hierarchy. All subjects were simply subjects, meant to be reinterpreted through the artist's subjective perspective. Expressionist artists saw academic art movements as superficial and lacking in spiritual connection.
Expressionism embraced subjective interpretations of modern life, with little regard for the aesthetically pleasing impressions left by artistic subjects that Impressionism embraced. Expressionism also rejected the portrayal of fleeting scenes and much of the focus on optics that Impressionism valued. Instead, Expressionist painters conveyed powerful emotions, often relying on complementary colors to create vivid, dramatic, and dynamic compositions. This style of artistic expression was more spontaneous than previous movements, lending itself well to conveying feelings of frustration, disillusionment, and cynicism that many felt following World War I. This postwar period led to many artists straying from representations of physical reality, whereas subsequent Expressionist works foregrounded a more instinctive form of expression.

An expressionalist painting by me in which I have tried to bring some opposite things than the original. As I have drawn a nest of fish on the tree which cannot be happened, then flying fishes and birds sailing into water. Many eyes on the tree as the witness to all these incidents.
Dadaism
The Dada movement was an artistic and literary movement that emerged in Europe during World War I, between 1916 and 1924. It originated in Zurich, Switzerland, with a group of artists and intellectuals who rejected traditional art and literature, and sought to challenge the established cultural values of the time.
The Dadaists were disillusioned with the war and its devastating consequences, and they expressed their frustration by creating art that was absurd, irrational, and nonsensical. They believed that traditional forms of art and literature were no longer relevant in a world that had been torn apart by war, and they sought to create new forms of expression that reflected the chaos and confusion of the modern age.
Dada art was characterized by its use of unconventional materials, such as found objects, and its rejection of traditional techniques and methods. Dada literature was similarly experimental, with writers often using fragmented language and nonsensical phrases to challenge conventional forms of storytelling.
The Dada movement had a profound influence on the development of modern art and literature, and its legacy can be seen in the work of later avant-garde movements, such as Surrealism and Fluxus. Although the movement was relatively short-lived, it had a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of the 20th century, and its rejection of traditional values and celebration of creative experimentation continue to resonate with artists and thinkers today.
Here, I have used the original poem 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost as the raw material.
Which is having break of the Grammatical structure.
As I shared it with the group of people, those who are connected with the English Literature or have read the poem were able to easily identify the original message and words but it makes other arrangements with the people in different fields, for some it was meaningless and for the people knowing the creator told that these are the creation of her mind.
Thank You.
