<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This 1929 collage novel by the avant-garde artist presents engravings from Victorian-era books and magazines, accompanied by enigmatic captions, that transport readers into the odd dream world of Surrealism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Originally published in Paris in 1929, this collage novel by avant-gardist Max Ernst constitutes a seminal 20th-century work of art. The artist's striking combinations of engravings from Victorian-era books and magazines, accompanied by enigmatic captions, offer a universe of mystery replete with all the possibilities of the bizarre dream world of the surreal. Images speak, language illustrates, and the reader's imagination provides the glue. <br>"Irrational, violent, tender, ironic, Max Ernst has invoked the whole kaleidoscope of human phenomena in these collages ... [turning them] into stunning proposals for adventure," noted this volume's translator, Dorothea Tanning. <i>The Hundred Headless Woman </i>was the first of Ernst's collage novels, and its classic status ensures a place in modern art history classes. Every visit and re-visit to its pages tells a different story, an endlessly fascinating tale that runs an emotional gamut from keen humor to outright horror.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A key figure in the Dadaist and Surrealist art movements, German-born Max Ernst (1891-1976) became an American citizen in 1948 and a French citizen in 1958. Painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet, Ernst employed the fragmented logic of collage in this volume and in his landmark collage book, <i>Une semaine de bont�, </i> also published by Dover.
