This drawing is a rare example of Mexican Surrealism. Gerszo, who began his career as a stage designer, met the European Surrealists in exile in Mexico during World War II and went through a brief surrealist period from 1942 to 1946 before devoting his life to abstraction. References to Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo combine with Mexican popular imagery in this evocation of a nude woman in a volcanic landscape. The collaged elements recall the flaps of anatomical treatises and medical books.
