About Exquisite Corpse Game: The chance-based drawing game known as the Exquisite Corpse involved each participant creating a portion of a human figure without seeing what others had created, which resulted in fantastic distortions, juxtapositions and surreal composite figures. The technique was invented by artists and poets associated with the Surrealism Movement that was founded by Andre Breton in Europe after WWI and continued into the 1950s.
GUIDELINES:
Artists will receive 4 canvas panels each 8” x 10”. All mediums are welcome but the provided template must be followed.
SALES: Artists receive 100% of all of their sales. ($30. per panel)
