IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

"...beau comme la rencontre fortuite sur une table de dissection d'une machine _
coudre et d'un parapluie "                      LAUTR_AMONT 1846-1870  (Les
chants de Maldoror)

"as beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing-machine
and an umbrella"
Andr_ Breton and the surealists adopted this Lautr_amont's sentence as an
example of the shocking, incongruous beauty that the "out of place" can
reveal.
The topic of this round gave me an opportunity to create this image, as a
tribute to the poet 
and to the surealist artists.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

everything was hand coded directly in POV . Classic CSG (big deal for the
umbrella...)
The body was created  in Poser3 and imported in Pov.
Area-lights above the tables and outside, on the right side. 
Rendering with radiosity on.
