Splendor Solis (1970), an art supplement edited by Gregg Simpson, contained writing and visual art by Al Neil ,david uu, Gilles Foisy, Glenn Lewis, Gerry Gilbert, Gathie Falk, Michael de Coursey, Gary Lee Nova, Jack Wise, Ed Varney and others. This period reinforced Simpson's committment to the European surrealist tradition, which after Breton's Second Manifesto, saw the Paris-based Surrealist Group become more like a secret society.

Simpson made
contact with Sarane Alexandrian, the Parisian writer and historian who
was an integral part of the group's activities in the immediate
post-war
period. He included the Father C.R.C. Memorial
painting (above)
in the fall, 1999 edition of Supériore Inconnu, a
journal which Alexandiran started with André Breton in 1947 (the
year Simpson was born). The journal is dedicated to the traditions of
surrealism
and the occult, focusing simultaneously on the arcane and the erotic.
