Abstract
Work of Frederick D. Jones Jr in relation to the art movement known as Social Surrealism. As a branch of Social Realism, Social Surrealism was similarly invested in depicting the plight of workers, laborers, and other social groups positioned on society's margins. The work of Social Surrealists, however, was distinctive for its engagement with the European Surrealist tradition and its emphasis on dreamlike imagery inspired by the unconscious.
