A week of kindness Max Ernst
The first panel displays a woman wearing a black robe standing on one foot with her arms extended to the sides. On the floor next to her there is a chicken and an egg. The darkness and mystery of the panel makes me think of some kind of ritual being performed.
The second panel shows a large chicken-man standing next to a woman, that could be dead or sleeping, in a room. He
The third panel is about the woman in the last panel being lowered in a casket somewhere underground. Another naked woman stands naked on the side while the chicken-man and now another creature look at her suspiciously. In the back there is an upside down cross hanging which might indicate that this is a human sacrifice being performed on the women by these creatures.
Fourth panel- She is laying half-naked on a rectangular slab of concrete. The creatures are talking and plotting what to do with her. The situation looks bleak, it looks like another step of the ritual is about to take place.
Panel 5- Woman on the floor appears to be dead and there is blood splattered on the floor.
There are important elements to this work that we know are the basic elements of traditional comic books. The only difference is that this work is more surreal and even though the panels are in order its more up to the reader to interpret the story as he or she wishes.
