The Importance of Being Ernst
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"
