Une semaine de bonté

Max Ernst’s Une semaine de bonté is a landmark surrealist graphic novel, first published in 1934 by Jeanne Bucher across five issues. Using collage techniques, Ernst assembled haunting, dreamlike narratives from Victorian-era engravings by artists like Gustave Doré and E. Ronjat. This series stands as a pivotal early example of the graphic novel form, blending found imagery into a cohesive, unsettling visual story that defies conventional comic-book storytelling.
