SSC Selection Post 2022 Matriculation Level Question Paper (02-Aug-2022) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is

utmost

The correct answer is utmost.

While the Surrealists weren't strict psychoanalysts, they selectively adopted Freud's ideas and techniques to suit their artistic aims. The concept of the uncanny, the exploration of repressed desires, and the focus on irrational juxtaposition found in dreams all became hallmarks of Surrealist art and writing. Figures like Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Max Ernst, and Joan Miró all incorporated elements derived from Freudian theory into their work, making the connection between psychoanalysis and Surrealism a cornerstone of 20th-century art history.
