He did a number of prints and book illustrations of things like women with bird heads and such, made from collaged engravings (lithographs?) and photos.<br> <br> Any ideas? I saw a very small exhibit of his work (or maybe it was more than one artist?) about a year ago at the National Gallery of Art, but I can't find anything on their site. post:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.120000 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:01:45 -0800 JoanArkham art arthistory collage engravings resolved http://ask.metafilter.com/120000/Surrealist-collage-artists#1717738 <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=max+ernst+collage">Max Ernst?</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.120000-1717738 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:06:21 -0800 dirtdirt http://ask.metafilter.com/120000/Surrealist-collage-artists#1717741 Yeah, I think <a href="http://www.nga.gov/press/2008/ernst.shtm">this</a> might be the exhibition... comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.120000-1717741 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:07:46 -0800 dirtdirt http://ask.metafilter.com/120000/Surrealist-collage-artists#1717745 Yes!
