[Max ERNST]. Max Ernst. Works from 1919 to 1936. Paris, Éditions des Cahiers d’Art, 1937. Folio, paperback, illustrated cover with inlay, modern slipcase. First edition. A precious copy belonging to Francis Picabia, featuring a signed autograph dedication in the form of a graphic riddle or rebus, adorned with a Chinese ink drawing framing the title page: for ΠK Bia (Fr 6) Paris, Dec. 1938 Ex (?) Dadaistically yours. Max Ernst The relationship between the two former Dadaists seems to have cooled after their shared adventure—although Picabia, notably through his magazine *391*, was one of the main figures who introduced Max Ernst to France. While Ernst joined the Surrealist group after the breakup of Dada, Picabia was to pursue a more unique path, marked by a return to figurative painting. Small tears on the spine.
