Bohumil Stepan: Sister Amalie with 'square head covered by tablecloth', ca 1971

Image of Bohumil Stepan: Sister Amalie with 'square head covered by tablecloth', ca 1971

'Bohumil Stefans Verrücktes Cabinet.'

Photocollage by Bohumil Stepan (1913-1985) from the Family Album of Oddities (1971). His work is inspired by Dada and Surrealism and is often satirical.

“Sister Amalie could not marry because she had a square head. But with a tablecloth she looked very respectable. A young man even shot himself because of her (when she removed the tablecloth).”

This silver gelatine print on mat Agfa-Brovira photo paper is an early reproduction made by the artist himself.
Print is in very good condition.

ca. 11,7 x 16 cm
artist's stamp on the verso.
Auenstrasse 2, 8000 München 5
