Signed and dated in pencil, not framed // A Blind Man’s Scrap Book (Skull) by Marcel Dzama, created in 2018, is a drawing rendered in colored pencil that presents a haunting yet whimsical skull. The piece is composed of swirling red and blue lines overlaid with dark, expressive shading around the eye sockets and teeth, creating an intense gaze from the hollow eyes. The lines are chaotic, lending the skull a sense of energy and impermanence, as if it were vibrating or in motion. Dzama’s distinctive style combines simplicity with emotional depth, using minimal elements to convey a complex mood, blending themes of life, death, and the surreal.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
