In its heyday in the 1930s, Surrealism influenced just about every artist in Europe. Though Picasso never officially signed on with the movement, he often participated in their activities. He also shared Breton’s admiration of the Marquis de Sade, due to his work on behalf of personal liberty. (I guess you had to be there.)
