To give a title to his works, Schwitters followed the same process of game of chance as in the choice of the objects that fill his compositions. On the flatness of the canvas we see the silhouette of a man painted, and on them are superposed a series of unusual objects, glued and nailed. We identify with difficulty a psychiatrist in this work, but the lact of rationality that looks after the specialist and the lack of rationality of the materials used turn it into a "new" order that go beyond the mere anecdote suggested by the title, very nuch in agreement with the mentality of Dadaism.
