Surrealist artist Max Ernst defined collage as the "alchemy of the visual image." Students of his work have often dismissed this comment as simply a metaphor for the transformative power of using found images in a new context. Taking a wholly different perspective on Ernst and alchemy, however, M. E. Warlick persuasively demonstrates that the artist had a profound and abiding interest in alchemical philosophy and often used alchemical symbolism in works created throughout his career.

Warlick, 61-73. Alas, this author fails to recognize that even the very title of Max Ernst s alchemical magnum opus—"Week of Kindness — betrays its hermetic roots in the conventional topos of the alchemist s philosophical work-week, e.g., Michael Maier s emblem book Seprimana philosophica.

Researchers turn instead to electrons. The German engineers Ernst Ruska (1906-88) and Max Knoll (1897-1969) invented the electron microscope in the 1930s this microscope creates images by passing a beam of electrons through a sample, or sometimes reflecting electrons from... 

Surrealism 1920 to the Present. Artists who have been involved in the surrealist movement include Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Rene Magritte, and Max Ernst. Surrealism combines realism, the subconscious, and the dream world. Imaginative objects, the real and unreal, exist in the same picture. This movement was inspired by Sigmund Freud s study of the subconscious. The surrealistic artists are also excellent technicians. A surrealistic painting usually suggests a specific mood (e.g., eerie, sad, playful, mysterious).

Richard Ernst, who won the 1991 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, conclusively demonstrated that the second method of using less-than-90° pulses with no delay times is superior (Ernst and Anderson, 1966). He calculated the ratio 7/7] (max) and related it to the optimum angle of rotation, (the Ernst angle). In this expression, T is the total time between pulses, which... 

While the Ernst angle relationship has worked very well for many years, problems can arise if 7/7] (max) moves, for a variety of reasons, off scale (to the left) or if the resulting...
