Max
Ernst was born on April 2, 1891, in Bruhl, Germany. Ernst
joined the Dada movement in Cologne and in 1919 he began
to work on collages and books composed of irrational images
and fantastic landscapes. In 1922, Ernst moved to Paris
where he became a central figure in the Surrealist Movement.
As an artist, Ernst’s accomplishment was to develop a
syntax using found visual material in a controlled, narrative
manner.
In pursuit of novel images he found a link, no matter
how irrational ,between all the materials he employed.
With frottage drawings and decalcomania, Ernst used non-traditional
methods to make a work of art, frottage with scraping
and decalcomania a transfer process. Both are versions
of automatism or automatic writing in which the images
are not planned, but discovered through the process. He
died on April 1, 1976, in Paris.
