In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet André Breton declared Picasso as ‘certainly one of ours’ in his article Le Surréalisme et la peinture, published in Révolution surréaliste. Les Demoiselles was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same Art Galery issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the idea of ‘psychic automatism in its pure state’ defined within the Manifeste du surréalisme never appealed to him completely.
