Description: Description: This is the first full-scale pictorial survey and critical biography devoted to one of the most fertile and imaginative artists of our century, Max Ernst. A noted British art critic, John Russell is a close friend of Ernst and the present volume owes much to artist's active collaboration. The author succeeds in evoking a living image of the times and places where Ernst worked his Expressionistic beginnings, his enthusiastic espousal of the Dada movement in Cologne in the 1920s, his great success in the Surrealist movement in Paris in the 1930s, and his sojourn in the United States in the 1940s. 475 illustrations, including 49 hand-tipped plates in full color. 359 pages. Printed and bound in West Germany. Condition: Nice condition book, covers are nice. No writing in the interior of this art book. Just a name on inside front cover. All pages are complete. Binding is tight. Nice dust-cover and spine area, some fraying to dust cover as shown. Smart-phone users, click top right menu of phone, select 'request desktop site'.
