Max Ernst - Biography

Ernst: The Life and Work of the Master of Surrealism and Dadaism

Max is a name that will forever be associated with the revolution in world art. He was a German painter and sculptor whose contributions to surrealism and Dadaism made him one of the key figures of 20th century art. In this biography, we look at his early years, creative path, impact on art and his unique style.

Max was born in Cologne, Germany in 1891. His parents supported his interest in art from an early age. He began painting and experimenting with various art techniques as a child. He later attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Bonn, but his artistic interests extended beyond traditional education.

Early in his career, Max was active in the Dada movement, which protested against traditional artificial values and imagery. This movement called for absurdity, chaos and disorder, and became one of its important representatives.

His works from this period, such as "Fonte" and "Mount St. Victor," were full of experimentation with textures and shapes, making them iconic works of the Dadaist era.

Over time, Max turned to surrealism, and his work became more philosophical and metaphorical. He developed a unique style that included collages created from various clippings and photographs, which gave his work a deep symbolism and surreal atmosphere.
