“You think no one understands / Listen to my hands” In the early
1920s, Surrealism emerged as a new cultural rhetoric and
aesthetic rooted in using the element of surprise to open up new
frontiers of the imagination, blending the playful with the
philosophical. A Book of Surrealist Games (public library),
originally published in 1991, is part activity book for grown-
ups, part essential art history, featuring word and image games
that the surrealists — including Salvador Dalí, René Magritte,
Pablo Picasso (to a degree), Max Ernst, and André Breton —
developed to create their written and graphical art. Among them
is this (very not safe for work, but then again so was the
entire decade) erotic hand signaling chart, a naughty adaptation
of the standard American Sign Language manual alphabet: First
person to adapt this into an animated GIF gets a piece of candy.
