Description

“One of the crucial clandestine classics of our century.” — The New York Times
This is the legendary collage masterpieces of Max Ernst (b. 1891), One of the crucial leading figures of the surrealistic movement and a number of the most original artists of the 20th century. From old catalog and pulp novel illustrations, Ernst produced this series of 182 odd and darkly humorous collage scenes of classic dreams and erotic fantasies which seem mysteriously to lure the unconscious into view: Stern, proper-looking women sprout giant sets of wings, serpents appear in the drawing -room and bed chamber, a baron has the head of a lion, a parlor floor turns to water on which some people can it appears walk at the same time as others drown.
Une Semaine De Bonté is divided into seven parts, one for on a daily basis of the week, with each section illustrating one of Ernst’s “seven deadly elements.” “Oedipus,” “The Court of the Dragon,” and “Three Visible Poems” are a number of the startling episodes of Ernst’s week. The Dada and surrealist epigraphs which introduce each section appear in this edition in both French and English.
Une Semaine De Bonté first appeared in 1934 in a series of five pamphlets of fewer than 1,000 copies each, and has never been reprinted before this present edition. Prior to now to be had only to a couple of libraries and collectors, this can be a major source and great treat for anyone interested in the surrealists and their work, in collage, visual illusion, dream visions, and the interpretations of dreams.
