Description
Hands figure prominently in many Surrealist images, especially portraits where they sometimes serve instead of the eye as a window to an individual’s soul. In this photograph, hands participate in a mysterious, grim shadow drama that threatens a dire end for someone by hanging. This photograph may have been part of a commissioned story about Les Halles, the former central wholesale grocery market of Paris.
