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)
The article on Vache merely states that he died of an opiate overdose, but in no way implies suicide. There is a book about Vache, Cravan and others called "Four Dada Suicides" that may have lead to this belief. Either way, some clarification on whether his death was intentional or accidental would probably be of merit. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Vach%C3%A9
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
Added mention of " pure psychic automatism". -- Daniel C. Boyer
Added further detail on birthplace. -- Daniel C. Boyer
No mention of his famous personality? Hyacinth 16:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
I remember reading a good deal about his tenuous relationships with artists - kicking people out of the movement on a whim and interrupting performances of Cocteau's plays.
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)
This page needs some sample paintings by Breton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thethirdmoose ( talk • contribs) 05:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
The caps lock within the titles of his work seems a little bit odd? ( Soap Bar II ( talk) 01:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC))
Could someone with expertise in pronunciation correct that of his name in the first paragraph? Thanks.

Dear fellow editors,
I am leaving this notification out of courtesy to other editors interested in the present article, as I am considering the task of aligning it with
fr:André Breton, as a future project. If anyone has any objections or ideas, then please let me know. I have been an admirer of Breton's poetry since the early 1960s, although much less so of his political writings and even less so of his social skills, shall we say. I think I could do a good job at maintaining
WP:NPOV and I am sure other interested editors would keep an eye on my edits.
Anyway, I thought I'd leave this message before going ahead, and would welcome and value the views of other editors.
Thank you.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ

In the late 1920s, Breton tried to steer his Surrealist cult of personality toward communism. He established relations with the French Communist Party (Stalinist) and tried to work with them. Stalin at this time was initiating mass terror and killing inside the Soviet Union. This was also the time of Stalin's show trials, which Breton aped inside his Surrealist party, threatening, denouncing and excommunicating various followers who didn't toe Breton cult. Breton regularly attended meetings and art events of supposed enemies, which he and his followers broke up using fists, sticks and thrown objects. Some were injured in these actions. Breton conceived a love of Leon Trotsky in the late 30s, imagining his version of communism more sympathetic to artists. Breton left France after it's fall in 1940 and lived in the USA. Upon his return to France in 1946, he and his movement were a dead letter inside France. Original Plaid ( talk) 09:02, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Which were André Breton's means of sustenance throughout life? Did he work for a boss or had an independent work to support himself on a regular basis? Surely the books he wrote were not best-sellers and a regular source of income... Any ideas? AnnaBruta ( talk) 21:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
