One good turn...

Once again Desnos nails it perfectly with his apt aphorism:

One good turn sometimes turns out well for somebody...

But, in the case yesterday at the Achenbach, every turn of the page turned out well for all of us. Thanks to Steve Woodall for curating such a remarkable experience with the fine focus on the Desnos/Miro extravaganza. 

A Google search took me to Surrealism and the Book by Renee Riese Hubert that describes the collaboration between Joan Miró & Robert Desnos which resulted in Les Pénalités de l'Enfer ou les Nouvelles Hébrides, Maeght Editeur, Paris, 1974
