[edit] Birth Date

Perhaps someone can shed some light on this matter. some sources say that he was born on february the 19th, while some others say it was the 18th... both dates are used in different versions of the wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.177.114.155 (talk) 23:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] manifestoes

There were two surrealist manifestoes in addition to the Prolegomena to a Third Surrealist Manifesto or Not. This should be revised to make this clear. --Daniel C. Boyer

[edit] Added

Added mention of "pure psychic automatism". --Daniel C. Boyer

Added further detail on birthplace. --Daniel C. Boyer

[edit] Personality

No mention of his famous personality? Hyacinth 16:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, i came here too looking for the same after reading about how many surrealist artists got tired of painting after several discussions with Breton. Aparently he was an annoying personality.

[edit] Not enough

There's a lot about his politics and who he met, all very interesting, but what about some discussion of his work? Totnesmartin 13:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Examples of work?

This page needs some sample paintings by Breton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thethirdmoose (talk • contribs) 05:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

he was a writer not a painter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petchboo (talkcontribs) 19:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Titles

The caps lock within the titles of his work seems a little bit odd? (Soap Bar II (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC))
