It was significant to the defence that the editors were being charged under special wartime regulations in 1945 when it was clear that the war was nearing its end.
57 As a response to post-FirstWorld-War conservatism and apathy, the role of surrealism in this project was in its active and dynamic dissolution of bourgeois values, preparing the way for the more constructive efforts of abstraction. He had strong artistic and anarchist sympathies with their project of protest and doubt.
