Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-21 00:00:00 Douglas Dishauzi Essential reading for any student or practitioner of the fine art of magic. This book breaks it down, what is the true meaning of what a practice of art is. Ernst had a very intense approach to his work , he lived and breathed alchemy & magic. This book dropped me straight inyto his magical workings and when i stepped back out , i could still feel Ernst creeping around in my head.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-10 00:00:00 Dan Durant Surrealism is the movement I relate most to - and as an artist, I feel very similarly to the way Ernst does: art is magical. I love his work and that of his lover, Leonora Carrington (who is also an amazing surrealist writer). Inspirational for artists and the alchemical-minded. I need to re-read this - I wolfed it down a couple years ago.
