Max Ernst - A Weekend of Kindness or the Seven Deadly Elements

For the first half of the pages it conveys woman and how they are portrayed. All the images depict a rooster in each scene. These roosters are symbols to show different relationships of culture into this comic. These images seem to me like they are dreamlike of some sort. Each of the scenes portray different conflicts that go on and we continue to see in everyday situations. There are these reflections on the female nude figures that that we connect with violence. In most of the scenes the woman seem like they are being taken for granted. That they are being portrayed like objects and not people.

These were very surrealist illustrations that I think are negative affects on the uses of woman. Woman to me are the same as men. I mean yeah!!! Woman tend to be more fragile, but they mature faster than men and more of a feminine physical appearance.

Easter Island

In the second half of this story it is developed from the men's viewpoints on life. They are depicted as the superior gender with the symbol of the Egyptian-nesk figures in each frame. The artist is sequencing the images very well with very gestural figures to show the narrative. The compositions get deep into your mind and mess with your minds a little.

These illustrations from both parts really explore the narrative and storytelling with the emotion and gestures in the figures and there environments.
