Max Ernst's Histoire Naturelle : Leaves Never Grow on Trees. Arts Council, 1982
Max Ernst's Histoire Naturelle was first published in Paris in 1926. Ernst had begun to use frottage (rubbing) in the early 1920s, in the way he used collage, as a visual equivalent to automatic writing. In this technique he saw a way of minimising the role of conventional artistic skill. But, despite this self-denial, he contrived a series of images which are intensely personal, hauntingly memorable and which remain one of the notable landmarks of Surrealism." – from the preface.
