Manifesto

What is a manifesto?
A manifesto is a statment which is published and made by a party/group of people of an individual stating their intention, motives or views.
It will accept either a previous published opinion or public consensus (which is a group desision making process) or it will promote a new idea and the changed which the party/group or individual believes should be made.

Surrealist manifesto
There were 2 surealist manifestos, the first was written by Breton and was then published in 1924. Editions du Sagittaire (a booklet).
"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner — the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern."

(1929) The second manifesto Breton asked surrealists to access their degree of moral competence. With this information he issued the second manifeste du surrealisme.
Surrealists who did not go by Baron, Densons, Boiffard, Michel Leiris, Raymond Queneau, Jacques Prevert and Andre Masson were no long apart of this. The surrealists who were loyal to Breton had signed their names on an insert of the manifestos release.

 Surrealism at the service of the revolution. This was after the second manifesto, by Andre Breton and his supporters. It was a more politically charged publication. The first one was published in 1930 and 5 more followed.
