That is why almost no one mentions him.
Surrealism remains amongst the most taboo artistic movements
within the history of art.
However, I long ago took up Breton's defiance against the language
of time and temporality, denying its ultimate validity, in extrapolation
from that. Then I found out I was right, and of course that therefore he
was right also.
When art is "right" about something, surely that is it's death knell
more often than not.
