an artist but a dadaist.
Max Ernst was one of the members of the surrealist's but he adapted collage techniques that were satirical by using popular printed materials, grotesque imagery & of course weird erotic designs or paintings that are titled under surrealism. Changing reality to create pure realism. Mentioning as well that DADA destroyed the belief in art & humanity, they had no humanity in them, they wanted to make the world now that there are things using us, there is Capitalism still involved, Fascism etc.. Creating photomontages that had juxtaposed items in them made the viewer uncomfortable. Typography stands out, white and sharp. Sans is applied and keeping the space balanced between text and the art. |
The seven deadly elements - the legendary collage masterpieces
Max produced a book with a series of paintings that are related to this girl, they are all juxtaposed & surrealistic. The idea behind all of this is a dreamscape an escape to the real life, creating a pure reality. The book has 7 chapters these are all themed with elements & days of the week.
Sunday represents the element of Mud
Monday represents the element of Water
Tuesday represents the element of Fire
Wednesday represents numerous pictures regarding a Bird man that Max Ernst calls him as : 'Loplop'
Thursday represents Blackness and it is divided into 2 parts : the 1st is - 'a rooster's laugh' & the 2nd is - Easter island.
Friday represents the abstract part of the novel, containing human bones combined with plants.
Saturday is the final part, were 10 images are displayed - 'the key to songs' the ending with falling women.
Themed subjects are usually set for chapters with different ambience, character wise, the type of drawing / design. Max Ernst influenced Graphic Design today, these photomontages are being applied today & even the juxtaposition is used in commercials, banners, digital artworks, magazines, photo manipulations.
