The Idea (wordless novel)
The Idea (French: Idée, sa naisance, sa vie, sa mort, "Idea, her birth, her life, her death") is a 1920 wordless novel by Flemish artist Frans Masereel (1889–1972). In eighty-three woodcut prints, the book tells an allegory of a man's idea, which takes the form of a naked woman who goes out into the world; the authorities try to suppress her nakedness, and execute a man who stands up for her. Her image is spread through the mass media, inciting a disruption of the social order. Filmmaker Berthold Bartosch made an animated adaptation in 1932.
Overview
An artist is struck with an idea, which manifests itself as a naked woman with long, black hair. He displays her to the public, but the authorities, offended by her nudity, chase her around the city in order to cover up her body. A man who is not offended by her nudity takes to the woman's side, and the two fight injustice together; the man is caught and executed. The authorities destroy all books published with the woman's image, but she finds new outlets in the mass media, and succeeds in disrupting the social order. The woman returns to the artist, who has a new idea—a white-haired woman. He frames and hangs the black-haired woman on the wall, and releases the white-haired woman to the public.

The Idea
by: Guild LeagueIn between awake and sleep
Where all our unknown thoughts are caught
I jerk and twitch, a leaping fish
Finds open water, overboard
It swims back beyond comprehension
Free of reason, weight or wish
While my mind's line snaps straight with tension
Struggling with another fish
It keeps you warm, you keep it quiet
You carry it like cups of tea
You sleep on it, but still don't buy it
Carry it like a disease
Quite enough for you to hear, a child born to the
unprepared
You tell yourself you've no idea
But it is there, it's there
A to B, to A to bed
Wake up at A
Each day's the same
You thought you'd thought it all before
Now something's gnawing at your brain
Quite enough for you to hear, a child born to the
unprepared
You tell yourself you've no idea
