The Manifesto of Surrealism (French: Manifeste du Surréalisme), which he published in 1924, was the fruit of five years of systematic experiments, mainly in the field of ' automatic writing ' (which should come directly from the subconscious), but also on that of the hypnotic sleep. The decisive share that he since then in the movement had, loved as much related to its efforts to maintain the internal consistency of Surrealism as directly in touch with the desire to stay with the happening.

As early as 1925 he advocated the raison d ' être of a surrealist painting. In 1938 he welcomed entering in this painting of the ' absolute automatism '. In 1941 he laid the emphasis on the individual character of that automatism within the design activities of surrealism.

Breton accepted the famous credo of Jacques Lacan because he accepted the madness as the only border to limit freedom:


 * "Et ne peut être non seulement de l'homme ' être, mais il ne serait pas compris sans foil ' être de l'homme, s'il ne portait and lazy la folie comme limite de sa liberté".
 * ("Not only can the essence of man not be understood without the madness, but that being is equally characterized by the madness as limit his freedom") [1] .

Hence the L'amour fou for the surrealists wanted, unlimited and irrational love was. It was one of the hobbyhorses of Surrealism[2] .

Breton was for the definition of his understanding of freedom also influenced by the work of the philosopher of the romance Friedrich von Schelling[3] .

André Breton died at seventy years of age. ==Quotes<span class="mw-editsection" len="335" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Bibliography<span class="mw-editsection" len="340" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
