The artwork titled “Félix Labisse” was created by the artist Brassai in 1948. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of photography.
The artwork captures an evocative scene in which a seated man holding a pipe appears contemplative and introspective. Behind him stands a mannequin draped in tattered cloth, giving the composition a surreal and mysterious aura. The backdrop consists of informative posters and maps, adding to the complexity of the setting. The contrast between the man’s composed demeanor and the mannequin’s disheveled appearance elicits a sense of juxtaposition typical of surrealist works. The black and white medium enhances the enigmatic and timeless quality of the photograph.
