During the 1930's, we witness the development of the second stage of Surrealism. It was two figures like Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) and Óscar Domínguez (1906-1957) who could foster this necessary change. Dalí attempted to translate, in the realm of painting, the mind process of oneiric creation presented in Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, and Lacan's thesis on paranoia, elaborating, on this basis, the "Paranoiac-Critical Method", which marked a revolution within the movement.
During these years, Surrealism expands on an international level, and different factions appear in different places throughout Europe. A product of this internationalization of Surrealism is the "Surrealist Exhibition" at the Ateneo de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in 1935. The contacts of Óscar Domínguez, a member of the Paris group, allowed a wide range of recognized artists to be exhibited on the island.
