In 1916, another great artistic movement (Dadaism) came to light in Zurich, in neutral Switzerland, which, for its part, contributed to redefining the boundaries of art. Until, in 1924, in the seething Paris of the postwar period, André Breton wrote the first surrealist manifesto - in whose ranks many of Dada's protagonists actually ended up merging. Because Dada's subversive scream had proved totally insufficient.
It was the new instances brought to light by Freud and the Marxist tradition that made a formidable contribution to the definition of a new aesthetic approach; and therefore to artistic creation. And Breton would have personally promoted it.
