巴塔耶（Bataille）的这句话也许为毕加索创作《耶酥之死》带来了灵感和动机……

“巴塔耶在探索人类活动的不文明的动机，尤其是性欲、残酷与死亡之间的汇合点的同时，排斥超现实主义的政治幻想。1930年布雷顿请他参加一个群体以改革超现实主义联盟时，他回答道……理想主义者真他妈的太多”

While Bataille explored the uncivil motivations of human action, in particular the convergence between eroticism, cruelty and death, he rejected the Surrealist political vision.  On being asked by Breton to join a group to reform the Surrealist alliance in 1930, he replied…TOO MANY FUCKING IDEALISTS! – Picasso For Beginners by Andrew Brighton and Andrzej Klimowski
