I think Breton's definition is a good definition, but it's
not complete. Works fine with what he says, writing,
theatre, movies (Dali was accepted in the surrealist

not because any "oil on canvas")
Talking about surrealism in painting, I think Dali gave the
definition, not Breton. Even the group, Breton included,
accepted his "paranoid critical" method, which is more
related with Freud's theories.

Just an opinion.
