Abstract

The Mexican poet and essayist Octavio Paz (1914-1998) had, as it is known, various intellectual, artistic and political influences. Undoubtedly, the surrealism is one of his most important influence, although it is also one of his less studied “elective affinities”. The relationship between Paz and the Surrealists, such as Andre Breton and Luis Brunel, was settled by the artistic manifestation, but was improved by a common share of an ethical and moral perception of the society. Analysing his involvement with the surrealism, this article attempts to discuss, to some extend, how this subversive movement is presented in his work and life.
