Jacques Vaché (7 September 1895 – 6 January 1919) was a friend of André Breton, the founder of surrealism.
Vaché was one of the chief inspirations behind the Surrealist movement.
As Breton said: "En littérature, je me suis successivement épris de Rimbaud, de Jarry, d'Apollinaire, de Nouveau, de Lautréamont, mais c'est à Jacques Vaché que je dois le plus"("In literature, I was successively taken with Rimbaud, with Jarry, with Apollinaire, with Nouveau, with Lautréamont, but it is Jacques Vaché to whom I owe the most")He was born on 7 September 1895 in Lorient, France, and died in Nantes on 6 January 1919 from an overdose of opium.
He was known for his indifference and for wearing a monocle.
