The Erotická revue[1] was an arts journal founded by Czech surrealist Jindřich Štyrský in 1930.
Speaking of Czech surrealism, I just found some Svankmajer clips at YouTube. Some of his best work: Dimensions of Dialogue (1983), which shows Arcimboldo-like heads gradually reducing each other to bland copies ("exhaustive discussion"[2]); a clay man and woman who dissolve into one another sexually, then quarrel and reduce themselves to a frenzied, boiling pulp ("passionate discourse"[3]); and two elderly clay heads who extrude various objects on their tongues (toothbrush and toothpaste; shoe and shoelaces, etc.) and use them in every possible combination, sane or otherwise ("factual conversation"[4]).
