You walk around like you’re Mr. Cool, Mr. Wisdom… but you’re not. You’re just some old hood. The other night in the bar, you asking me a question… like do I do parking lot security? Well, the answer is no! I’m trusted security inside the casino. I’m trusted with security, and I don’t fuck it up.

1926-1927 has been a special year for Tanguy. As evident from his earlier works such as The Girl with Red Hair (1926) and Genesis (1926), this was the period of time when he had transitioned from illustrating representative images to non-representative. At this stage of his career some of the figures still have a realistic texture (such as the hairy rod, the back smoke, and the cactus), showing a clear influence from Giorgio de Chirico. Many have tried to interpret what the figures symbolized, but as was the case of most automatic drawings there is no clear-cut answer. Even Tanguy himself did not attempt to find a definitive answer, as he feared that he would limit himself. Playing with perspective also became Tanguy’s trademark, as can be seen with how he placed the spider-web; in this section, the sense of high and low has been mixed together with the sense of being near or far.
