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, welcomed a sort 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 multiplying the hands, each of which was unaware of the other’s writing, the “novel” was deprived of a backbone: only the marvelous remained.
