“Dear Miss, I found your letter when I returned from my trip. Naturally I leave you free to set the right to reproduce these few pages of the Surrealist Manifesto . Perhaps you could ask Mr. Régis Michaud to send me a copy of the volume he is preparing, when this work appears. With my thanks, please accept, Mademoiselle, my very devoted homage. André Breton. »

On October 15, 1924, André Breton published the first Manifesto of Surrealism , which would inspire generations of artists to come. Disillusioned with the apathy of the Dadaists, especially Tzara, with considerable literary popularity and a large circle of colleagues (including Louis Aragon, Robert Desnos, René Crevel and Francis Picabia), Breton left once and for all. Dada by publishing the Manifesto of Surrealism . What was initially intended to be a preface to his work Poisson soluble is ultimately a book detailing the progress of modern literature, and providing the first definition of Surrealism.
