Summary/Abstract: The study examines the main challenges faced by the Surrealist movement in the decades of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Amid many disputes and controversies, some of which resulted in exclusions, the case of the emergence of "Le Grand Jeu" magazine between 1928 and 1930 is analyzed. Founded by a group of young individuals who referred to themselves as "Les Phrères simplistes," the magazine quickly attracted former Dadaists and even artists from André Breton's group, provoking a response from the writer who was derogatorily called the "Pope of Surrealism." When facing divergences within their own group, the surrealists took steps towards further demolition of the 'old' society rather than towards solidarity.
