Question

A character created by this author titles a painting in which a seated, bare-chested woman wears a large hat and robe of the same red color and mossy decalcomania texture as the surrounding landscape. For a Maecenas Press printing of a book by this author, a melting clock table was illustrated in one of twelve heliogravures by Salvador Dali. One reptile’s body serves as a ship on which six (15[1])similar figures sit in a painting and sculpture (15[1]-5[1])titled (-5[1])for a poem by this author (15[1])and created by (*) Leonora Carrington. (10[1])This author dropped the chapter “The Wasp in a Wig” on the advice of an illustrator who drew a duchess (10[1])based on Quentin Matsys’s Ugly Duchess, (10[1])per an annotated edition by Martin Gardner. This author created a character who wears a horseshoe-shaped (10[1])headband now named for her in illustrations by John Tenniel. For 10 points, name this author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: Lewis Carroll [or Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (The first line refers to Max Ernst’s Alice in 1941; the Carrington artworks are both titled How Doth the Little Crocodile.)
