Two games written and drawn by Sandu Tudor together with Théodore Brauner, known as Teddy, and Margareta Wechsler Dinu. One of the two sheets contains comic exchanges between Sandu Tudor and Teddy Brauner, and the other, a fragmentary dialogue between the three, as well as drawings by Teddy Brauner and Medi Dinu. The games are sketched in pencil on two vellum sheets, one of which is double-sided.
The game is called cadavre exquis - "exquisite corpse" and was invented by representatives of the surrealist movement. Its name comes from a sentence that resulted from the first round ever played, "Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau", translated "The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine".
Originally, it involves players taking turns writing their contributions on a sheet of paper, folding it so as to hide that part of the sheet and passing it to the next player for the next contribution. It is a variation on the old Victorian parlour game Consequences, and the version adapted to the chart changes the sentences into progressively added drawing portions but retains the principle.
Dimensions
custom jocuri: 33.5 x 23 cm (fiecare); fotografii: 8.5 x 6 cm (fiecare)
