Michel Leiris
In "Les Champs Magnétiques" ("The Magnetic Fields"), a collaboration with Soupault, he implemented the principle of automatic writing. He published the "Surrealist Manifesto" in 1924, and was editor of the magazine "La Révolution surréaliste" from that year on. A group of writers became associated with him: Soupault, Louis Aragon, Paul Éluard, René Crevel, Michel Leiris, Benjamin Péret, Antonin Artaud, and Robert Desnos.
