"An excellent picture of a movement which...has had a profound effecton the arts of the twentieth century."--The Times EducationalSupplement

A self-described "nest of contradictions", Max Ernst for over six decades created surreal and haunting images of mystery and terror, wit and lyricism, which have become part of the mainstream of modern art. This splendid and significant book invites us to share the life and times of one of the most truly inventive artists of our day.
