Exquisite Corpse

Andre Breton with Valentine Hugo, Nusch Eluard, Paul Eluard and others The name is derived from a phrase that resulted when Surrealists first played the game, "Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau." ("The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.")

André Breton writes that the game developed at the residence of friends at an old house in Montparnasse, 54 rue du Château (no longer existing). Besides himself he mentions Marcel Duhamel, Jacques Prévert, Yves Tanguy and Benjamin Péret as original participants.

In 1932, artists Frida Kahlo and Lucienne Bloch created two near-nude exquisite corpses. One is titled "Frida" and the other "Diego"

Frida Kahlo: ‘The Two Fridas’ (1939)

Frida Kahlo produced this double self-portrait shortly after her divorce from the painter and printmaker Diego Rivera. On the right, dressed in Mexican costume, sits the Frida her husband loved, holding an amulet set with a miniature portrait of him. On the left there's another Frida, the one Diego no longer loves, wearing a white lace-trimmed dress in a more Western style. This side of her looks as though she might be drained of blood. The stormy sky reflects a turbulent crisis in their marriage.

. . . I'm writing to let you know I'm releasing you, I'm amputating you. Be happy and never seek me again. I don't want to hear from you, I don't want you to hear from me. If there is anything I'd enjoy before I die, it'd be not having to see your fucking horrible bastard face wandering around my garden.

That is all, I can now go to be chopped up in peace.

Goodbye from somebody who is crazy and vehemently in love with you.

Your Frida

He leído las cartas más románticas que le escribió Frida Kahlo a Diego Rivera, Henry Miller a Anaïs Nin, así que estoy listo para cuándo quieras empezar a coquetearme.
