Max Ernst

Surrealist Composition

Surrealist Composition

Artist Information

Max Ernst is one of the most prominent figures from the Dada and Surrealist movements of the 20th century, renowned for his mastery of provocation. His body of work reflects his deep engagement with culture, particularly the social and political climate of his time. Ernst’s subjects range from ancient mythology to literature and theory, often infused with his signature biting humor.

Despite the variety in his themes, Ernst’s work consistently features scenes of highly incongruent and disorienting groups of figures and objects. These elements often exhibit striking disruptions of scale, invoking a profound sense of anxiety. For Ernst, art was a tool to reflect the nightmarish realities of the world, making his work both powerful and thought-provoking.
