Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst are two of the greatest names associated with Dada and Surrealism, the iconoclastic art movements of the early part of the twentieth century. This detailed study brings their work into close proximity for the first time, examining the structural interaction of "ready-made" belief systems in their productions (Catholicism, masculinism, hermeticism). These artists are revealed as precursors of our postmodern obsessions with male and female identity and cultural fragmentation.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
impresssive study .../ copiously illustrated and pleasingly annotated.../ For any reader wishing to deepen their knowledge of these particular paintings the book is a welcome shake-up of more canonical readings. Dr Hopkins finely spun theoretical framework - dancing as it does from Rosicrucianism to Dutch Symbolism to Descartes and back again - sometimes veers toward hermeticism itself, but nonetheless opens unexpected new prospects on the four central works./ A.A., Art Newspaper, July-Aug 1999.

Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst,
By Jeremy R. Grizzle "Mr. Jeremy Grizzle" (Greenup, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst: The Bride Shared (Clarendon Studies in the History of Art) (Hardcover)
If you are looking for individual research involving either artist, look else where. Nonetheless, this book gives a good gleamce into two revolutionary artists lives as they relate to one another. The "true" father of modern art, Marcel Duchamp, and his mad-photographer, Max Ernst as their lives mingle between negative, photo, and glass.
