Individual surrealists' pages

ALL KINDS OF SURREALISTS' BLOGS AND INDIVIDUAL PAGES
- Mainly personal webpages of people who have somehow been involved in the surrealist movement (perhaps peripherally) and whose works in their respective field is somehow relevant in that context (no demands on significance imposed); however it also includes a number of peculiar later trajectories and some "violons d'Ingres" speculatively added, as well as a certain number of contacts with yet uncertain status and inclinations, and even a small number of querulous figures whining from the open window. All pages were functional, and to available knowledge all persons alive, at september 2015 update, though several of the pages had been long inactive. It is not a surrealist directory. Not everything is to find online, nor everybody.
