Andre Breton


Andre Breton was a French writer, poet and surrealist theorist. He is best known as the principal founder of surrealism. His writings include the "Surrealist Manifesto of 1924" in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism".


Surrealism became a European movement that influenced all domains of art, and called into question the origin of human understanding and human perceptions of things and events.
