ugly man in chair with his argyle feet off in surreal room

"Chairman with his argyle feet off"

A dreamlike room of objects that don't relate to one another. It means absolutely nothing to anyone but me (and I'm not even sure that I understand it!)
A pure surrealist notion.

Not a drawing, actually, but scratched onto a metal (zinc) plate, then set in acid to burn deeper. Finally it was inked and sent through an etching press. Only two artist's proofs remain.
