standing figure with white hair, bushy white eyebrows, large white moustache, wearing a hat with a rounded top, colorful jacket and knickers, and one red stocking and one green stocking, with orange shoes, holding a walking stick; text printed at bottom
This aged, clownish military officer is Polichinelle, most-commonly known to English-speaking audiences from the raucous Punch & Judy puppet shows in which the characters whack each other with sticks. He grew out of a long theatrical tradition called the "Commedia dell’Arte," which attracted the attention of generations of artists for its livelyβ€”often bawdyβ€”action, flamboyant costumes, and revealing truths. When Γ‰douard Manet saw that most of his work had been rejected by the jury of the 1874 Paris salon exhibition, he decided to promote himself by giving away thousands of impressions of this print. Unfortunately, the police banned its publication, thinking Polichinelle was a caricature of France’s newly-elected president, a general who had used brutal force to crush public protests three years earlier. How telling that they saw their pompous leader in the image and feared that he was so weak that it could undermine his authority.

"Bankers in Action" by Remedios Varo depicts a surreal scene where figures in top hats hover through a mysterious, otherworldly space. Varo's work often combines elements of mysticism and magic realism, reflecting her interest in the esoteric and the subconscious mind.
