Illustrations by Sima, Arp, Arthur Harfaux, Maurice Henry. The review Le Grand Jeu gave its name to a group within (and adjacent to) the Surrealist movement, excommunicated in the course of one of Breton s characteristic purges. "This parasurrealist journal (the title was borrowed from a book of poems by Péret published in 1928) first appeared at the end of 1928, edited and illustrated by René Daumal, Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, Arthur Harfaux, Maurice Henry, Joseph Sima, and Roger Vaillant. Of those, several like Maurice Henry and Arthur Harfaux, were later to collaborate on Le Surréalisme au Service de la Révolution . Given the Surrealists desire for communal political action, particularly on the part of Aragon, Breton, Thirion, Le Grand Jeu was seen to be closer in spirit to the early numbers of La Révolution Surréaliste and the inclination to purely literary and artistic activity which had already led to the expulsions of Artaud, Vitrac and Soupault" (Ades).
