From Huismes, in central France, where he was vacationing last week, old manifesto writer Max Ernst was not long in replying: "I left the surrealist group in 1939 and have never since belonged to it. It seems to me that all those who have made the discoveries and the greatness of surrealism, have over the last 20 years either left or have been 'excluded.'
