    In Les Animaux de la ferme (1974), Broodthaers associates different breeds of cattle with car manufacturers, in the form of an educational or scientific manual on agricultural education. In reference to Magritte, he confronts words and images in the form of a game. In doing so, he undermines the logical basis of Western thought by disorganising the main vector of this culture: structured language.
