Ernst was such a versatile and prolific artist that any collection can only show a small sample of the available work which here ranges from Dadaist collages and Surrealist <em>frottages<\/em>, to pages from his three collage novels plus later works like <em>Wunderhorn<\/em> which featured illustrations based on the writings of Lewis Carroll. Some of the captions erroneously assign collages from <em>Une semaine de bont\u00e9<\/em> to <i>La femme 100 t\u00eates<\/i>, not the kind of thing you expect from a national library. Several of the images towards the end are from <em>Maximiliana or the Illegal Practice of Astronomy<\/em>, an art-book that Ernst created in 1964 which features the curious hieroglyphic figures that proliferate in his drawings and paintings from this period.
