520 Originally published in Paris in 1929, this collage novel
by avant-gardist Max Ernst constitutes a seminal 20th-
century work of art. The artist's striking combinations of
engravings from Victorian-era books and magazines,
accompanied by enigmatic captions, offer a universe of
mystery replete with all the possibilities of the bizarre
dream world of the surreal. Images speak, language
illustrates, and the reader's imagination provides the
glue. "Irrational, violent, tender, ironic, Max Ernst has
invoked the whole kaleidoscope of human phenomena in these
collages ... [turning them] into stunning proposals for
adventure," noted this volume's translator, Dorothea
Tanning. The Hundred Headless Woman was the first of
Ernst's collage novels, and its classic status ensures a
place in modern art history classes. Every visit and re-
visit to its pages tells a different story, an endlessly
fascinating tale that runs an emotional gamut from keen
humor to outright horror.
