Surrealist and automatistic method of creative production developed by [Max Ernst]? (from the French for "rubbing") in which one takes, eg. a pencil, and makes a "rubbing" over a textured surface. The drawing can be either left as-is or used as the basis for further refinement. While superficially similar to brass-rubbing, frottage differs in being automatistic and aleatory? in nature.

Frottage (from the French for "rubbing") is a surrealist and automatistic method of creative production developed by [Max Ernst]? in which one takes, for example, a pencil, and makes a "rubbing" over a textured surface. The drawing can be either left as-is or used as the basis for further refinement. While superficially similar to brass-rubbing, frottage differs in being automatistic and aleatory? in nature. Frottage (or frotteurism) is also the act of obtaining sexual gratification by rubbing one's clothed body against another.
