This collage shows three people in a circus-like scene. A woman in a checkered dress stands on a tall stack of animals, holding a whip. A man in a hat kneels beside a leopard, and another man in a hat balances upside-down on a pole. The background is filled with tiny figures watching from bleachers, and the words "NOS SOEURS D'AMÉRIQUE" and "FÉMININ ILLUSTRÉ" are pasted in bold letters. The animals are cut from printed paper, giving them a flat, graphic look. The mix of upside-down figures and stacked shapes creates a playful, off-kilter feel. Next, look up The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
