Ferret out : What is Enigma

I was glancing through SURREALISM The Dream of Revolution by Richard Leslie and chanced upon interesting titles of surreal masterpieces like The Eye Like a Strange Balloon Mounts Toward Infinity

, Garden of Earthly delights, "Black Monkey" Mask,  The childhood of Oedipus,

 The Promenades of Euclid 

 ,

and etc.

Mada2 loved the fur cup entitled, Object for its simplicity.

Then i chanced upon the word gelatin silver print and checked it out too.  I've came across this word many times before but never had the time to check it up.

gelatin silver print

Gelatin silver prints are the most usual means of making black and white prints from negatives. They are papers coated with a layer of gelatin which contains light sensitive silver salts. They were developed in the 1870's and by 1895 had generally replaced albumen prints because they were more stable, did not turn yellow and were simpler to produce. Gelatin silver prints remain the standard black and white print type.

i have been using the word enigma for years... the band, the cartoon hero, in a phrase... but DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT so i checked it up as well .
