Georges Sadoul was a writer and a member of the Surrealist Group. While André Breton’s renowned series of collaborative drawings called Cadavre Exquis (Exquisite corpse) in which as many as four artists playfully collaborated on the composition without knowledge of other artists’ contributions, here Sadoul is the artist of the entire drawing. It is a spoof on Breton’s Cadavre Exquis.
