| Summary: | 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. |
