Human: Notice of the object [http://www.andrebreton.fr/work/56600100984470] in the André Breton collection Notes and technical observations 1) This magnificent sculpture appears to be melancholic at first glance, yet upon closer inspection, its face is smiling very slightly, reminiscent of Mona Lisa. Unfortunately, this subtle smile was too faint for the scanner to capture. 2) These striking contrasts within the wood texture are not solely natural. In fact, André Breton and his associates loved to touch the sculpture as a good luck charm. These alterations eventually transform the sculpture into a delicate garment.
