The involvement of Breton, Aragon, Éluard, and Péret in the ranks of the French Communist Party in 1927 opened the second chapter in the history of surrealism. In addition to the program of subversion and the panic of reality advocated by the movement's founding manifesto (Let Go of the Prey for the Shadow), adherence to dialectical materialism imposed an objective consideration of reality. Paraphrasing Éluard, Breton then invited the surrealists to "found a physics of poetry." The object, in forms and species that would never cease to be reinvented, became the poetic and critical response to this imposed realism.
