Invented in 1925 in Paris by the Surrealists Yves Tanguy, Jacques Prévert, André Breton and Marcel Duchamp, Cadavre exquis is similar to the old parlour game Consequences, in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold to conceal part of the writing and pass it on to the next player. The Surrealists adapted the game by drawing parts of the body. The name Cadavre exquis was derived from a phrase that resulted when they first played the game, 'Le cadavre/ exquis/ boira/ le vin/ nouveau' ('The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine').
