André Breton
André Breton was a French writer and poet, best known as the founder of Surrealism, a movement that sought to challenge the conventional boundaries of art and literature. His works often blend dream imagery with the unconscious mind, aiming to unlock deeper truths about human experience. Breton's influential manifestos and writings, such as 'Nadja' and 'Manifesto of Surrealism,' have left a profound mark on modern art and literature, inspiring countless artists and writers to explore the realms of the irrational and the fantastical.
