This study examines the Nantes group that formed around André Breton during the First World War, before the official birth of surrealism.
The text analyzes the activities and relationships of this group, which included Jacques Vaché, Théodore Fraenkel, and other figures who would influence the development of surrealism.
The study also explores how the experiences and experiments of this group laid the groundwork for the later surrealist movement, particularly in terms of their approach to poetry, art, and life.
This article appears in a collective work that examines the prehistory of surrealism and the various influences that contributed to its formation.
