'''''The Lugubrious Game''''' (or '''''The Mournful Game''''') is a part oil painting and part collage on cardboard artwork created by [[Salvador Dalí]] in 1929. It displays references to [[feces]] (in the form of a man wearing soiled underpants), [[sexual desire]], [[castration]] and alludes to the "safety" of [[masturbation]]{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}. The name of the painting was given by poet, [[Paul Éluard]].▼

== History ==▼
In 1929, several Surrealists including [[Paul Éluard]] and his wife [[Gala Dalí|Gala]] were visiting Dalí at his home in [[Spain]]. Upon seeing the [[Surrealist]] style painting, they were intrigued by it, which led to [[Salvador Dalí|Dalí]] becoming an official member of the movement.
The painting was the subject of an analysis by [[Georges Bataille]] for ''[[Documents (magazine)|Documents]]'' issue no. 7.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bataille |first=Georges |date=December 1929 |title=The Lugubrious Game |url=http://theoria.art-zoo.com/the-lugubrious-game-georges-bataille/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221205230315/http://theoria.art-zoo.com/the-lugubrious-game-georges-bataille/ |archive-date=December 5, 2022 |access-date=June 29, 2024 |website=Art Theory}}</ref>
