LOPLOP THE WATERWITCH; Max Ernst Remains a Master Diviner in Retrospective

By John CANADAY

MAX ERNST, whose retrospective exhibition opened at the Museum of Modern Art Wednesday, is an artist who gives the impression, of having been diverted from a profession for which he was born -- that of biologist, or of optometrist, or of wandering minstrel -- by a hobby that took over his life.
