| | Surrealist automatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1919 Breton and Philippe Soupault wrote the first automatic book, Les Champs Magnétiques while The Automatic Message was one of Breton's significant theoretical works about automatism. |
| | In the 1940s and 1950s the Canadian group called Les Automatistes pursued creative work (chiefly painting) based on surrealist principles. |
| | Some Romanian surrealists invented a number of surrealist techniques (such as cubomania, entopic graphomania, and the movement of liquid down a vertical surface) that purported to take automatism to an absurd point, and the name given, "surautomatism", implies that the methods "go beyond" automatism, but this position is controversial. |
