The Importance of Being Ernst

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 11:14 pm

For John Cusack and Menno Meyjes —

"I still haven't found what I'm looking for." — Bono

"In fact Surrealism found what it had been looking for
from the first in the 1920 collages [by Max Ernst],
which introduced an entirely original scheme of visual structure…."

Rosalind Krauss quoting André Breton
    in "The Master's Bedroom"
