In the course of browsing an illustrated book of objects--umbrellas, watches, tools, clothes--artist Max Ernst was struck by the items' unusual juxtapositions. By manipulating the Victorian-era engravings into striking tableaux and adding brief captions, Ernst invented the collage novel and transformed banal advertising art into revealing dramas rooted in his dreams and secret desires.A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil was originally published in 1930 as R ve d'une petite fille qui voulut entrer au Carmel. Its hallucinatory visions center on the nightmares of a girl who loses her virginity on the day of her first communion and resolves to become a nun. Ernst, a pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealistic art, blends humor and irony in his exploration of the nonrational but very real intersection of religious ecstasy and erotic desire. A century after its debut, this profoundly peculiar book retains its shock value as well as its imaginative power.

These look great and I love that they can be use for all sorts of things- catchall, tray, soap dish holder. They also have felt bottoms, so they protect whatever you set them. All around a nice product.

Nice little addition to you tabletop or bookshelf.
I liked the size and shape of the sculpture. It is small but makes a statement when stacked on top of a few books. I love it!
