Max Ernst<\/strong> (2 April 1891 – 1 April 1976) was a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. A prolific artist, Ernst is considered to be one of the primary pioneers of the Dada movement and Surrealism.
\nUne Semaine de Bont\u00e9 (A Week of Kindness)<\/em> is a graphic novel and artist’s book composed in collage by Max Ernst, made during a three week visit in Italy. The novel was first published in Paris in 1934, as a series of five pamphlets of 816 copies each.
\nThe novel consists of found images from Victorian encyclopedias and novels, cut up and re-organized into 182 montages which represent a kind of dark, surreal world. One such image includes a series of bird-men fleeing an unidentified terror, a giant hand reaching out of a window above.
\nThe work is the third of three similarly-themed artist’s books covering similar territory; La Femme 100 T\u00eates<\/em> (The woman with one hundred heads, or The woman with no heads) 1929, and R\u00eave dune Petite Fille qui Voulut Entrer au Carmel<\/em> (Paris, 1930).
\n“Each of these books projects recurrent themes of sexuality, anti-clericalism and violence, by dislocating the visual significance of the source material to suggest what has been repressed.”
