Editing Exquisite corpse (section)

==History==
This technique was invented by [[surrealism|surrealist]]s and is similar to an old [[parlour game]] called [[Consequences (game)|consequences]] in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder [[André Breton]] reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching. Breton said the diversion started about 1925, but [[Pierre Reverdy]] wrote that it started much earlier, at least as early as 1918.<ref name="Breton" >{{cite web|url=http://exquisitecorpse.com/definition/Bretons_Remembrances.html|title=Breton Remembers|last=Breton|first=André|author-link=André Breton|date=7 October 1948|access-date=30 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080127195653/http://exquisitecorpse.com/definition/Bretons_Remembrances.html|archive-date=27 January 2008|url-status=dead}} Exhibition catalogue, ''{{Lang|fr|Le Cadavre Exquis: Son Exaltation}}'', La Dragonne, Galerie Nina Dausset, Paris (October 7–30).</ref>

The name is derived from a phrase that resulted when Surrealists first played the game, "{{Lang|fr|Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau.}}" ("The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.")<ref name="Breton"/><ref>{{cite book|last=Brotchie|first=Alastair|author2=Mel Gooding|title=Surrealist Games|publisher=[[Redstone Press]]|year=1991|location=London|pages=143–144|isbn=1-870003-21-7}}</ref> 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).

[[Henry Miller]] often played the game to pass time in French cafés during the 1930s.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Kochhar-Lindgren |first1=Kanta |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IdeR6vrFBeEC&dq=Exquisite+corpse+henry+miller&pg=PA320 |title=The Exquisite Corpse: Chance and Collaboration in Surrealism's Parlor Game |last2=Schneiderman |first2=Davis |last3=Denlinger |first3=Tom |date=2009-12-01 |publisher=U of Nebraska Press |isbn=978-0-8032-2781-1 |language=en}}</ref>

In 1932, artists [[Frida Kahlo]] and [[Lucienne Bloch]] created two near-nude exquisite corpses.<ref>{{Citation |last=Ms Marissa Lynn |title=Frida Kahlo & Lucienne Bloch - Exquisite Corpse |date=2012-02-20 |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/missmarissalynn/6914856395/ |access-date=2023-08-03}}</ref> One is titled "Frida"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Frida Kahlo {{!}} Exquisite corpse (Frida) |url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/838685 |access-date=2023-08-03 |website=The Metropolitan Museum of Art |language=en}}</ref> and the other "Diego"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Frida Kahlo {{!}} Exquisite corpse (Diego) |url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/838686 |access-date=2023-08-03 |website=The Metropolitan Museum of Art |language=en}}</ref> (likely meant to represent Kahlo herself and her husband, muralist [[Diego Rivera]]).
