by Mark Dery February 9, 2018November 19, 2021

Max Ernst, page from "Oedipus (Oedipe), Volume IV," from A Week of Kindness or the Seven Capital Elements ("Une Semaine de bonté ou les sept éléments capitaux," 1933–34), published 1934, line block after collage, from a five-volume serial novel with 182 line blocks after collages, page: 10 3/4 x 8 1/16 in, publisher: Éditions Jeanne Bucher, Paris; printer: Georges Duval, Paris; edition: 812; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Louis E. Stern Collection, 1964 (photo by Robert Gerhardt. © 2017 Artists Rights Society/ARS, New York / ADAGP, Paris)
