Max Ernst.

0/5 ( ratings)

Among the great masters of Surrealism, Max Ernst occupies a pre-eminent position. His stylistic evolution embraces an extraordinary and stimulating range of images - from the understated, mordant wit of 1920s Dada through the bewildering complexities of 1930s and early 1940s Surrealism. This development culminated in the last decades of the artist's life in a mysterious, compelling view of a unique universe of form, color, and line that is both alien and strangely familiar.

This book offers a fresh and stimulating look at Max Ernst's oeuvre. It is illustrated with 176 color plates, in addition to numerous black-and-white reproductions. Here are his early Expressionist-influenced paintings, the matter-of-fact lunatic Dada works, and the magnificent, romantic Surrealist canvases that open windows into extraterrestrial worlds. Here, too, are a number of his distinctive sculptures with their subtly disquieting interplay of mass and volume. There is also work from the collage novels, which are pictorial narratives assembled from 19th century engravings that titilate and horrify through their juxtaposition of banal and exotic motifs.

Format: Hardcover
