With unparalleled artistic originality Max Ernst (1891–1976)
transformed everything he touched. By pushing the boundaries and
breaking loose from the confined view of the culture of his time,
he became one of the most important figures of Dadaism and
Surrealism. Driven by the counter-reaction to the horrors of World
War I, he became a pioneer of the Dada movement. The closing of the
famed Dada exhibit in Cologne for ‘obscenity’ led Ernst to
spend the rest of his life in Paris, where he came in contact with
the Surrealists. Above all, Ernst stands out for his varied style
and technique, having produced an oeuvre that reaches from
paintings, drawings, and sculpture, across texts and stage settings
to collage novels and the development of his own ‘frottage’
technique. During World War II, Ernst, like many of his colleagues,
became an ‘undesirable foreigner’ and was forced to emigrate;
however, he returned to France after the war. Continuing a career
that spanned decades, in 1954 he received the Grand Prize for
Painting at the Biennial in Venice. This book is a journey through
magic, vividness, and fantasy. It is a gateway into the intricate
mind and world of Max Ernst. About the series Born back in 1985,
the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book
collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art
series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and
oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical
importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with
explanatory captions
