Loplop Introduces the Members of the Surrealist Group by Max Ernst, 1931. Photocollage and pencil, 19.75 x 13.25 in.

Yesterday’s post had been queued for a few days when, on the day it was scheduled to be published, a reader left me a message:

In honor of my favorite Surrealist painter and his greatest creation (or was it the other way round?), how about a few days devoted to Loplop the Bird Superior and all that pertains unto him?

Chance encounters, indeed!

I won’t test fate. Thus I present the second installment of the Loplop Series.
