An overview of Max Ernst's paintings from the last two decades of his life, this book contains many color reproductions of his paintings with emphasis on his techniques and the relationship of themes between his works. "La Belle Jardinère, one of Max Ernst's major works of the twenties, disappeared during the Nazi period. In 1967, the artist again took up the theme, which had always been of great significance to him, and called the new painting The Return of La Belle Jardinière. This picture thus forms a connecting link between Ernst's first period in Paris and the work that he continues to produce today."
