copy of Cadavre exquis (Corpse exquisite)

Drawing by X (unknown), A. Breton et Man Ray

Collective, literary and poetic game of the surrealists consisting of forming a sentence, subject-verb-complement, without knowing what precedes it. The corpse - exquisite - will drink - the new wine, first draft made, gives the name to the game. The process is quickly transposed to drawing.
