The Marquis de Sade was regarded by the surrealists as a great “revolutionary moralist and poet”. Man Ray's portrait shows him in front of the Bastille where he was imprisoned --strong and impressive, a symbol of uninhibited violence.
The above quote comes from Autobiographie du surréalisme, page 273
- "Maurice Heine (mort en 1940) joua un rôle de premier plan pour libérer la mémoire de Sade du cachot intellectuel des auteurs "obscènes" et pour placer cet écrivain à son véritable rang de "poète et moraliste révolutionnaire."
