Cordialism

Cordialism [kɔrˈdʲjalism̥] - a curtural movement of art that arose at the beginning of the 20th century in Europe, appearing in literature and fine arts.

The term Cordialism was derived from the German cordial < Latin. cor, cordis -> heart. It contains a reference to the method of the creative process connected by artistic doctrines related by characteristic concepts appearing in them.

Artists working in the line of cordialism, like surrealists, drew their experiences from Dadaism. In painting, the premise of cordialism was "to express pure emotions". The created images took long years to make due to the need for emotional cleansing to properly convey the energy of the creator. Cordialistic creation can be considered a type of automatic creation due to the fact that part of the process arises from the author's subconsciousness.

The purpose of cordialism was to study the nature of human emotions and their subconsciousness, because they believed that man is ruled and guided by an unconscious force appearing in the mind. Cordialist art can be a kind of internal monologue, where the mental record of a person and their experiences and associations are perceived through a subjective narrative. It is a kind of stream of consciousness, the amalgamation of the mind of a real moment and the sum of its sensations.
