Pocket chess set and rubber glove, 1943 Chess set designed by Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) Image by Man Ray (1890-1976)
Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning:
Something else draws his attention then, a chess photograph pinned over my drawing board. "Ah, you play chess!" He lifts the phrase like a question and sets it down as a fact, so that my yes is no more than an echo of some distant past exchange...
There is something voluptuous, close to the bone, about chess. "Your game is promising. I could come back tomorrow, give you some pointers..." So the next day and the next saw us playing frantic chess (save when I was bent over my drawing board, doing advertising illustration).
Thin laminae of an old husk, decorum, kept me sitting in the prim chair instead of starred on the bed. Until a week went by and he came to stay.
