About Max Ernst
1891-1976
Max Ernst was one of the initiators of the Surrealist movement and also remained one of its most important and versatile representatives. Alongside Picasso, he is considered the artist who had the most lasting influence on the development of modernism.
At the sight of a heavily grained, washed-out floor, he had his first spontaneous visions of birds, landscapes, masks, and figures. Max Ernst fixed these visions in his paintings. He created bird people and mask wearers, rational worlds of form that placed him in the ranks of the great Surrealists.
His paintings - if still available at all - are auctioned at Christie's and Sotheby's for millions and are in the most important collections in the world.
The field of graphic arts, that includes artistic representations, which are reproduced by various printing techniques.
