In an introduction to V for Vendetta, Alan Moore lists the painting "Europe After The Rain", by Max Ernst, as an inspiration. It depicts a post-apocalyptical surreal landscape, and that's precisely what I also saw on this Wolfgang Paalen canvas - in exhibition at the Bozar (Bruxelles). Both were painted during the first years of World War II, when tensions and prejudice filled the air, the horrors just around the corner.
