C'est en 1923, année de publication de Clair de Terre, que Breton et Picasso se rencontrent. Alors âgé de vingt-sept ans, Breton livre un ouvrage charnière entre le dadaïsme et le surréalisme, mêlant de nombreux poèmes écrits depuis depuis Les Champs magnétiques à cinq récits de rêves, l'ensemble étant ponctué de deux inserts typographiques. L'envoi érotique de l'auteur est adressé à Gala, alors mariée à Paul Éluard et dédicataire du poème "Épervier incassable"
