Jean-Willy Mestach, also known as Willy Mestach, is a legendary artist and art collector in Brussels. Nicknamed the "Eye of the Sablon" after the area of Brussels known for its antiques and, more recently, Belgian chocolates, Mestach has been a careful collector of African art for decades. Over a forty year period Mestach assembled one of the finest collections of African sculpture in a country in which splendid collections of African sculpture are almost commonplace. His wonderful collection--including some Oceanic pieces--was exhibited in 1991 and 1992 at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. beautifully presented in this 11 x 14 hardcover book, the extraordinary collection is illustrated in excellent photographs that accompany an illuminating, insightful text. ...Quote: "With its bold forms, with its instinctive rhythms, and with its expressiveness, African art indicates dialogue, and speaks to me of an art rooted as much in logic as in the unconscious, in which imagination explores the origins of myths. It is the same imagination that gives rise to "forms more real than nature". - Jean-Willy Mestach

Max Ernst, the great Surrealist artist, produced a body of graphic work surpassing that of any other artist associated with the movement. His innovative print-making techniques were the equivalent of the semi-automatic image-making procedures used by the painters and poets of his day, and he collaborated with the literary founders of Dada and Surrealism to create some of the most beautiful and evocative books of our time. This book is a fully illustrated catalogue of the Max Ernst retrospective, held at The New York Public Library, with three essays documenting and interpreting the artist's books and prints, a chronology, and a selective bibliography.
