Publication based upon an exhibition organized by the Menil Collection, Houston. This toured to the Museum of Modern Art in NY in 1993, and later to the Art Institute of Chicago. This monograph and the exhibit provides an in-depth and inclusive review of Ernst's work from 1912 to 1927. This period includes his early and important contributions within Expressionism, emphasizes his breakthrough achievements of Dada, and synoptically reviews a select group of crucial works at the inception of Surrealism. By 1927, Ernst had developed the essential innovations of technique and image and the visual vocabulary of subjects and theories that were to sustain virtually all his later work.

Max Ernst Pioneer of Surrealism

By Mr J Lloyd-West on October 8, 2000

Format: Paperback

For all those who want to learn about the position of Max Ernst within Surrealism this is an essential book. Scholarly essays by Werner Spies (arguably the foremost authority on Max Ernst) and William Camfield, who writes in fascinating detail about the transition period when the artist moved from Dada into Surrealism. The period comes alive with rare photographs and anecdotes about the struggles of Max Ernst to survive in Germany after the first world war and his efforts to reach Paris, the promised land. Max Ernst, a true pioneer of many of the art techniques taught nowadays in artschools, such as frottage and collage, is celebrated in this book with not only almost 200 colour plates of many of his masterpieces, but also many lesser known works which show how he constructed his collages. Added to this are inumerable black and white illustrations of the sources for many of his most famous paintings. As Max Ernst never wrote an autobiography,a book such as this is a must for all those who desire to know something more about the artist who is quoted on page 28 as saying "A painter is lost when he finds himself." An artist difficult to know, but this book goes a long way in bridging that gap.

A beautiful book of primo Ernst (1912-1922)

By FLAtRich on July 24, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

A beautiful book of primo Ernst (1912-1922). It is large and heavy and the paper is fine. Half the book is illustrated history and the rest is prints. Hundreds of prints, 146 in color. Bought this used from one of Amazon's certified sellers. Excellent condition, reasonable price (in fact, as an Ernst fan, an excellent price.)
