...school days, which in English would have been a limerick; it concerned an elephant in Sumatra that tried to, well, connect with its grandmother. The naked woman in the foreground foreshadows the title of Ernst's great collage-narrative of 1929, La Femme 100 Tetes, or The Hundred- Headless Woman.

A few days later, medical examiner Michael Baden autopsied the body and came to a startlingly different conclusion.
