Le Mur tombé du ciel #6: Jacques Vaché (and André Breton)

Jacques Vaché was a writer and illustrator originally in the 'Groupe des Sârs', also known as 'Groupe de Nantes', with Jean Sarment (aka Jean Bellemère), Eugène Hublet and Pierre Bisserié. He had a great influence on the surrealists, particularly on André Breton. He died at the age of twenty-three from an opium overdose in a hotel in Nantes. A tiny portrait of Breton sits on Vaché's shoulder.
