Scorning fashion, Breton was a devotee of the visionary paintings of Gustave Moreau (1828-1898), and at a time when art nouveau was disregarded by the cognoscenti, the Surrealists marveled at its wrought iron plants as though the transformation of natural organic forms into metal was a sort of alchemy.
