The relationship between psychoanalysis and Surrealism were a sort of liaisons dangereuses. They say, among other things, that psychoanalysis was a decisive influence on the genesis and development of Surrealism. It is said that at first because Breton, founder of the movement, and other surreal and sometimes it said. But it also says that Freud and Breton never understood and that the creator of psychoanalysis to distance the company surreal, cordially, by way of misunderstanding.
December 26, 1932, in response to the dispatch of communicating vessels Breton, Freud wrote him a letter to the author just like this:
"And now a confession, should you accept with grace: While I receive so many proofs of interest you and their friends have by my research, I myself am not able to clarify what is and wants to surrealism. Maybe I'm not made for that, I am so far from the art. "
Perhaps as noted Starobinsky, in confessing his lack of understanding, the suspect hid Freud had not been understood by the Surrealists. You may want to record, to his psychoanalysis in the context of certain scientists, Freud shun the mysticism that permeated Bretonnians proposals, as surrealism, in his quest for "magic realism", got the same bag mediumistic phenomena, " The Science of Sleep "(unfortunate title of the first French translation of the Traumdeutung ) or mental automatism Jacksonian psychiatry. Also, to be incompetent in matters of art, surrealism, Freud seemed to reduce the field of aesthetics, which might well sound like offense in the ears of Breton, whose movement sought (Like other avant-garde art) blur the boundaries between art and life.
Anyway, the aforementioned confession of Freud did not fail to affect the place of "patron saint" (as he ironically said Stefan Zweig) assigned to it by surrealism. Breton was quick to criticize Freud, to refer exclusively to the past denied the prophetic value of dreams in the immediate future (and thus refused to Breton, the movement of desire). Mysticism Freud and Breton fled from academic. Between psychoanalysis and Surrealism was largely misunderstood.
But misunderstandings in psychoanalysis, as is known, often fruitful, and lo and behold someone like Jacques Lacan himself was meant with the Surrealists. While their arrival to psychoanalysis not be explained without their comings and goings by shackles of surrealism. It has been said, too, that Lacan found a reference in the runout inspiring subject and radical questioning of the status of the object that prompted surrealism. Also at the time Freud accused icy receipt of the doctoral thesis of Lacan, Dalí studied and developed with fury from her his "method paranoiac-critical ".
Freud is said that he sympathized the histrionic madness, because it pretended pretender to the true (Pessoa), and poet who was, Salvador Dali, who, incidentally, liked doing portraits Freud (see the gallery of this blog ). And the painter at inflated eyes assured that when taking the last of them, he knew that Freud did not take long to die, because he saw him dead when he stood, as if by painting and dreamed I saw it in a prophetic dream, the kind to which he denied existence.

Rather than communicating vessels, the history of encounters and clashes, there were parallels and intersections between surrealism and psychoanalysis seems to create a kind of hinge between Freud and Lacan, each by opening or closing the door on that real the surrealism that would be good to study.
