Synopsis
Max Ernst (1891-1976), whose first radical achievements date from the time of the First World War, stands as one of the greatest innovative pioneers of this century’s art. This exhibition surveys Ernst’s major early accomplishments. Between 1912 and 1927, Ernest successively participated in the Expressionist, Dada, and Surrealist movements. During these fifteen years, he devised crucial innovations in technique, approaches to imagery, and themes, which were to inform his art throughout his entire career. The exhibition emphasizes Ernst’s participation from 1919 to 1924 in Dada.

This period includes Ernst's early and important contributions to Expressionism (1912-19), his breakthrough achievements of Dada (1919-24), and some of his early Surrealist pieces (1924-27). The author gives an absorbing account of the social and political milieu of Cologne and Paris, of Ernst's participation in various counter-cultural associations, and of his relationship with such influential artists as Arp, Picabia, Klee, and de Chirico. Accounts are included of the Dadaists' staged antics, which were often bizarre and hilarious. Later chapters cover Ernst's collaborations with the poet Paul Eluard and his murals for the Eluards' house in Eaubonne. Giving expression to Freudian concepts of the subconscious, Ernst's work incorporates elements of dream and mythology, violence and sexuality. His oeuvre is filled with fantastic allusions to living, animate beings in implied gender relationships. The theme of metamorphosis, a central feature of Surrealism, is embodied in his depictions of human beings, machines, and hybrid creatures. The more than 400 illustrations show the wide variety of media employed by Ernst: painting, drawing, collage, photo-collage, and frottage - the technique of applying paper or canvas to a textured surface and rubbing over it with pencil. They also include works by Ernst's contemporaries, documentary photographs, and illustrations from magazines and exhibition catalogues. This book presents the largest survey to date of Ernst's pioneering early achievement, which, with all its freshness and innovation, has been of such seminal importance to the art of the twentieth century.
