Delving into Freud’s concept of the psyche, the impact of culture on the human psyche (post–Industrial Revolution), the rise and influence of Surrealism on culture and the arts, and related interdisciplinary areas is a study of particular interest; however, understanding how these phenomena interact in modern society through the reading of this paper is an even more significant undertaking. This paper revisits and discusses Freud’s theory of the psyche, notably the Ego, Superego, and Id, along with its societal, cultural, and artistic implications. Furthermore, it examines the metamorphosis of the psyche through the Surrealist movement, both as a transformative force and as a new artistic factor that profoundly influenced a particular historical epoch. Lastly, it acknowledges the contribution of different scientific fields to the study and understanding of questions concerning the psyche.
