Max Ernst | HOW TO SEE the artist with MoMA curator Anne Umland

Max Ernst is often described in textbooks as a key Dada or Surrealist artist, but throughout his long career, he worked across many mediums transforming everyday images into visionary dreamscapes. MoMA curator Anne Umland explores his life and works as a painter, sculptor, collage maker and poet in MoMA's new exhibition, “Max Ernst: Beyond Painting.”

    So was that Peggy - the other figure in the painting of Napoleon, exiled, I wonder? A tricky relationship, from what I read about it. Wonderful tour, thanks! Amazing man! So inventive! Rumour has it, he invented dripping paint onto canvas on the floor from a tin can filled with paint he swung from string - and Pollock saw him doing it. Loved the way he uses frottage! I’m going to give that a go.

    I got the female character from the Napoleon In The Wilderness piece tattooed on my forearm when I was 18 years old (12 years ago), after I saw it in an art book in visual arts class when I was in 9th grade. I was so in awe by this paintings beauty, and the mystery hidden within the countless different elements throughout the piece, it stuck with me for years as my favourite painting, and I was, and still am, as far from a fine arts connoisseur as one could get. I had no idea what the picture was meant to represent or why, or had any clue as to its background, but that was kind of half of what I appreciated so much about it, it was just a perfect scene of pure beauty and emotion. The mystery of the unknown was thrilling to me, and I had decided to leave it's story undiscovered to me, it didn't matter. 12 years on, I finally decided to seek out its back story, and came across this video. I'm glad I did, and I'm also glad she didn't give a great deal of backstory away, just a simple sentence eloquently spoken as such it would make a fitting caption to accompany the painting on its display. I must say though I'm very intrigued by what she said about how Ernst tied his feelings of exile to that of which Napoleon himself must have experienced. Its quite the ambiguous connection to make. Just goes to show that the man was very special with a brilliant mond

    Actually, Tempel is quite famous among astronomers, thanks to his discovery of 21 comets, among them 9P/Tempel, 10P/Tempel, and 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, the latter of which is the progenitor of the famous Leonid Meteor Shower. Tempel also discovered five asteroids.

    Max Ernst | HOW TO SEE the artist with MoMA curator Anne Umland 1657pm 22.12.21 i enjoy this woman's enjoyment of max ernst. she is not phased by the incessant b.s spouted in the world which champions crazy art... the dada school was certainly of it's time and "crazy" - there is no other description to be heaped upon it which would suffice... it isn't accessible so cannot be spat upon!.. it can only be imbibed by a few in our present age. which is all to the good. refer to inaccessibility. and although pretty crazy... these pieces shown are weirdly considered points of reference. though that could be the studious nature of the curator's aura infecting his, ernst's oeuvre. but of course - i am not going to argue with the lady who works out.... who i am sure must have been referenced, predictively speaking, in the dada world somewhere.

    What seems to be described here resembles the mechanisms of an inside joke. You either have the information needed to get the joke, or you do not understand it. For forty years I imagined I had a handle on fine art. Now I wonder if anyone really does. J. Burke said fine art is a second hand interpretation made third hand by the viewer. Picasso allegedly said the last true artist was the caveman. Because Art meant something to him, it was a seamless part of his existence and not Art for Art's sake. I can't imagine a world without it, but I just don't why.

I think the movement literally painted themselves into a corner. Thank the gods they rejected the young Francis Bacon as being "insufficiently surreal" I'm with him when he said "Fantasy doesn't interest me, reality interests me" Bring on the Francis Bacon, Anne.
