Exquisite corpse (Cadavre exquis in French) is a collaborative drawing approach first used by surrealist artists to create bizarre and intuitive drawings. Invented in 1925 in Paris by the surrealists Yves Tanguy, Jacques Prévert, André Breton and Marcel Duchamp, it was a sort of game in which each artist-player drew a part of the body, folded it over, and passed it on to the next player who continued without knowing what was represented in the previous drawing.
