Add Ernst's delicate touch & it's even better. Ultimately, though, I have to admit to getting a little bored by the technical uniformity of the prints used - even w/ Ernst's careful recycling. ( ) This work is pure genius! Max Ernst put together this artist's book using cutouts from various woodcut illustration sources. This is before the days of Adobe Photoshop, yet it looks utterly flawless in its technical execution. The images of this book are so weird yet captivating and hard to classify. Each chapter of the book follows a day of the week and some sort of theme (mud, water, fire, etc) in the images. What do these images mean? Nobody can give a precise answer and that is part of the appeal of this book. Also take heed - this can be considered an early graphic novel. Yes, it can be hard to decipher, but these images are clearly meant to be read in sequence. Overall, Une Semaine De Bonte is quite a creation. Its enigmatic meaning is part of its appeal. Darkly comic, with all the visual lyricism of Ernst's exhibited collage works and a large dose of macabre exuberance. The use of altered complete images and similar source material makes the pictures feel more like complete images in themselves than collage, to great uncanny effect. It also transforms the whole into a satire of the equivocal, quotidian attitude to violence and death in popular culture. The book comes into it's own in the partial and overlapping narratives, the pictures force interpretation on the reader, but the strands of detail and apparent continuities combine and flow in dozens of different ways, loading the mute images to bursting point with different narratives competing for prominence. Is there one lion of belfort, or does the leonine face and medal take over the violent and prideful, are the pictures in the house in the court of the dragon (assuming it's the same house) prophesy the future or has this all happened before? Does is this face twisted in shock or anger? Is this figure a woman languishing in orgasmic bliss or a staring corpse? The images play beautifully between self-consistency that demands explanation and evanescent phantasmagoria that render it impossible. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

La exposición muestra los collages originales que Ernst realizó en 1933 para publicarlos en forma de novela bajo el título "Une semaine de bonté". En aquellos años, Europa afrontaba el desafío del totalitarismo, y el artista plasma en ellos sus peores pesadillas, sentimientos oscuros y premonitorios sobre la invasión del continente. Un ímpetu violento e intenso recorre su obra con la intención de crear el desasosiego en el observador. Las obras que utiliza para componer sus collages pertenecen al universo de la novela popular del siglo XIX, ilustraciones que acompañaban a los folletines franceses, pasadas totalmente de moda por aquella época.
