    James! That link was great, thankyou!!! Yes, those are my all time faves of Ernst too!!! hes so amazing….I got really obsessed with the Robing Of The Bride for a while when i was back home and i hadn’t mentioned it to anyone that i was having this big Ernst phase and then my best friend said how her brother had found this amazing big weird picture in a rubbish skip in the street and she would borrow it so we could use it for picture props…and when i get to her house it was The Robing Of The Bride…a big 70s print of it on a big wood panel! So brilliant!!! Thanks for the link!!! I have your eyes all packed up by the door ready for tmr’s post James!X

    I AM READING THE HEARING TRUMPET RIGHT NOW! Nora turned me on to her

  • E.K. says:

    That’s crazy that Owleyes recommended a book by M.E. Warlick, she’s my grad school advisor! She’s helping me finish my masters in art history as we speak. Small world!

  • owleyes says:

    WOAAA! E.K.!!
    that is so rad! You must have one hell of an art history master!
    I loved her book, did you read it? Please tell her for me her book came to me at a turning point in my art process, right when i was getting to understand Ernst and his way of making some of his work. Her book really helped me connect the dots!
    Please take a look at my site too, maybe pass it it along to Warlick!
    Good luck with your masters!
    Man JO, your friends & readers seem pretty magical!

    wow, that’s so brilliant! I will have to tell Owleyes… Have you read the book yourself? Im gonna get it this week…

  • E.K. says:

    I never got around to reading her book, but I took several classes with her including one on just Dada and Surrealism so I heard a lot about Ernst! I’m a die hard fan of his work, especially the collage books. He’s influenced my work quite a bit.
