La Révolution surréaliste was a French surrealist magazine founded by André Breton and Pierre Naville in Paris in 1924, with the goal of promoting surrealism and its principles, as outlined in André Breton's Manifeste du surréalisme. The magazine was closely associated with the Bureau of Surrealist Research, a Paris-based organization dedicated to exploring the subconscious mind and the world of dreams, as studied by Sigmund Freud. The magazine's contributors included notable figures such as Louis Aragon, Antonin Artaud, and Paul Éluard, who were all influenced by the works of Guillaume Apollinaire and Alfred Jarry.
