26.Max Ernst, Collages from Une semaine de bonté (1934)

26.Max Ernst, Collages from Une semaine de bonté (1934)

This is graphic novel and artist's book of Max Ernst from Une semaine de bonté , which is constituted 182 images created by collages from different books. The "Une semaine de bonté" is meaning "A Week of Kindness",therefore its title reflects to a week to seven sections(Sunday to Saturday), and each section have their own theme. This artwork is from the "Wednesday"-Mercredi, in this part, artist use numerous images of bird-men to explain the theme-Blood.
I always interest in surreal artwork because it often creates an full of imaginationinfinite possibilities world and it seem truth forever.I guess this artworks is explaining the lost of freedom, "Blood" always meaning death, war and sacrifice, it is interesting to use a bird-man to described this theme while they cannot truly fly.
