Description:
|
|
Max Ernst obtained French nationality in 1958. He and his fourth wife, the American painter Dorothea Tanning, had returned to France five years earlier and from 1955 to 1964 they lived in Huismes, near Chinon, where Ernst executed this oil painting. In this explosion of light, Ernst returns to grattage, a technique he had employed since the 1920s. Using a palette knife he applies short, broken strokes that cover practically the entire surface of the canvas and create an abstract effect. In the 1950s the artist places more of an accent on texture, which shows that his painting succumbed to the influence of the automatic techniques of Tachisme and Art Informel. In 1958 he published a poem which references the title of this work. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
