Max Ernst

Max Ernst was a German artist who lived in France. He was a Surrealist who created works which were large scale and featured places and landscapes which were surreal using a number of different techniques including collage, assemblage and frottage. ( a technique which included rubbing textures onto paper etc with pencil of charcoal).

Frottage, which realizes the surrealistic principle of 'psychological automatism' ERNST.

I like this work because it is so strange and creates an illusion of fantasy and escapism.
