Surrealism is off the hook. The visual surrealism isn't the pure surrealism. The 'founders' or to put it more amusingly, 'conspirators' of the movement were poets and pure surrealism is in it's birth state.
Example:
THE OBSCURE SILENCE OF METALS WAS GRAZING ON THEIR WORDS
Visual artists were interested in it and produced their visual work yes. What they couldn't accomplish that the writers were able to easily do since words are not as iconic was to write, with seemingly a lack of reason, eccentrically familiar, or passable, prose and poetry. The extent of the capabilities of the visual capabilities of surrealism "treat the image as viable only so long as it conflicts with reasonable presumptions... provides a spectacle for which rational logic or past experinces have not prepared us."
