One might ask, what is this a painting of? That is the point of the Dada Movement. This painting titled Celebus, by Max Ernst shows many odd things like what appears to be a large boiler, with legs and a hose being led by a headless person. More generally the painting shows nonsense objects which are absurd and meaningless.
