Frottage art is a surrealist and "automatic" method of creative production developed by Max Ernst. In Frottage the artist takes a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a rubbing over a textured surface. The drawing can be left as it is orused as the basis for further refinement. While superficially similar to brass rubbing and other forms of rubbing intended to reproduce an existing subject, and in fact sometimes being used as an alternate term for it, frottage differs in being aleatoric and random in nature. The picture above is my frottage work for sea creatures. Can you see what animal it is?
