Philippe Soupault
Philippe Soupault (2 August 1897 – 12 March 1990) was a French writer and poet, novelist, critic, and political activist. He was active in
Dadaism and later was instrumental in founding the
Surrealist movement with
André Breton. Soupault initiated the periodical ''
Littérature'' together with writers Breton and
Louis Aragon in Paris in 1919, which, for many, marks the beginnings of Surrealism. The first book of
automatic writing, ''
Les Champs magnétiques'' (1920), was co-authored by Soupault and Breton.
