The angel embarrasses the torso 1934

Jindřich Štyrský’s 1934 “The angel embarrasses the torso” is a surrealist collage. Štyrský, a Czech artist, incorporated a female torso covered in polka dots with what looks to be white pants, creating a sense of playful absurdity. He has juxtaposed this against an angel in a flowing gown, evoking a sense of classical art reinterpreted through a surrealist lens. This collage encapsulates Štyrský's innovative style, merging realistic figures with fantastical elements, creating an intriguing and thought-provoking scene.
