Description:
|
|
As a member of the dadaist ranks, Max Ernst began his assemblage-based sculpture using wood and wire, as a response to the crisis in painting that Dadá addressed. Years later, he became fully involved in the surrealist group and began a series of plaster casts, done between 1934 and 1935, which indicated a firmer commitment to sculpting. This work with its totemic and semi-anthropomorphic form indicates a dialogue with both Alberto Giacometti and African sculpture, from a perspective far removed from that which had inspired the cubist sculptors.
