Max Ernst

Art can push us to explore new textures. Max Ernst was a German, multi-talented artist who created the frontage art technique which involved the rubbing of materials, usually with a pencil, over uneven surfaces to create the foundational image. He also created the grattage technique, using paint to capture imprints on canvas of textures surfaces below. I really admire this creativity to see the world through texture and touch. For Ernst, collage was a rebellious act of freedom, fighting against the limitations of the rational mind and oppressive customs of the time. This can be seen with his surreal images, layered over each other in a quixotic way, balanced with my geometric motif.
