These are part of the Artist's exploration of the theme of heads in the late 1930s, somewhat inspired by Cycladic sculpture following a trip to Greece in October 1936.
The partitioned head on the left specifically relates to the figure in Paalen's Moondial of 1935. Paired figures was a theme that Picasso was also exploring in the mid-1930s, with '36 the year that Paalen discovered Picasso had had an affair with his wife, Alice Rahon, who had become pregnant before aborting the child.
Wolfgang Robert Paalen was an Austrian-Mexican painter, sculptor, and art philosopher.
A member of the Abstraction-Création group from 1934 to 1935, he joined the influential Surrealist movement in 1935 and was one of its prominent exponents until 1942. Whilst in exile in Mexico, he founded his own counter-surrealist art-magazine DYN, in which he summarized his critical attitude towards radical subjectivism and Freudo-Marxism in Surrealism with his philosophy of contingency. He rejoined the group between 1951 and 1954, during his sojourn in Paris.
