A great Avant Garde book from 1961 by Akbar del Piombo called The Boiler Maker

This great collage book, art by Norman Rubington and story by Akbar del Piombo was very inspired by the Dadaist Max Ernst and his small surrealist books done the same way, cut and collaged Victorian era images. Ernst did these in the 1920’s but the 1960’s had a rebirth or a continuation of the what the Dadaist strove to convey in the late teens to early 20’s into the Surrealist movement, the absurd and commentary of the world around them. Yes, the world was a joke and the art should reflect how contradiction and hypocrisy was such a part of life and living.
