Abstract

The present article aims a brief explanation about the Visionary Art, its emergence, some of its characteristics, some of its representatives and its possible relations with the surrealist art. By the bibliographic research method, we present a brief study comparing the formal aspects, thematic and source of inspiration of representations taken as surrealist and others taken as visionary. We comprehend that the interest by the unknown is a common point, and that the divergences between the Visionary Art and the Surrealism are, mostly, related to the valorization of the spiritual, that aims the Visionary Art.
