"En 1939 les numéros 4 et 5 de Plastique, revue dirigée par Sophie Taeuber-Arp, accueillent le début de L'homme qui perdu son squelette. Le text, à la manière d'un cadavre exquis, est collectivement signé. La guerre empêchera la parution de la suite."--Colophon. Directed by Sophie Taeuber-Arp (and published with the support of the American collector Albert Eugene Gallatin), the magazine Plastique published texts, articles and drawings. In 1939 issues 4 and 5, the last, receive a kind of "exquisite corpse": The Man Who Lost His Skeleton, collectively signed by Hans Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Paul Eluard, Max Ernst, Georges Hugnet, Henri Pastoureau and Gisèle Prassinos. By the multiplication of the hands, which each ignore the writing of the other, the "novel" is deprived of spine: only the wonderful remains.
