Answer

Freud's early career was influenced by the art style of Surrealism. Surrealism is a 20th-century art movement that emphasizes irrationality, spontaneity, and the unconscious. Freud's interest in Surrealism was likely due to his belief that the unconscious mind is a powerful force that can influence our thoughts and actions.
