    Comte de Lautréamont- Les Chants de Maldoror
    Paul Eluard, Vincente Aliexandre, Rafael Alberti, Pablo Neruda all exhibit elements of Surrealism.

    Personally I find the impact or influence of Surrealism to have been far greater than the actual works of Surrealist Art and Literature.

    The "Pope of Surrealism" was a Dadaist? And Picasso was an Impressionist, no doubt.
    The Pope of surrealism. ROFLMAO
    You have to go to The Vatican to sell that one.
    And Picasso had many different periods. Trick the ignorant. Stick to collector.

    An robh thu a gabhail drama nuair a sgriobh thu siud a charaid? Bunuel was the first creative person who illustrated for me what surrealism was. He was something of an anarchist and funny in a way Bergman never was.

    One of the best of Bunuel's works was Exterminating Angel, which was a good kick in the arse of the great parricide, Sigmund Freud. Viridiana, The Forgotten Ones and Belle de Jour were also good works.
