ngg_shortcode_1_placeholderMax Ernst<\/strong> never stopped reinventing his art throughout his career. His work is nourished by philosophy, psychoanalysis, science, alchemy, art history, literature and poetry.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will focus on the major themes of the worlds created by Max Ernst, by illustrating the recurrence of the themes that run through his work. A central section of the exhibition uses the four elements \u2013 water, air, earth and fire – which, according to ancient philosophical tradition and alchemy, make up all the matter in the natural world.<\/p>\n

The artist\u2019s oeuvre is disconcerting and remarkable. A great intellectual and humanist artist\u2014in the neo-Renaissance sense of the term\u2014, he continually defied perception by combining logic and formal harmony with unfathomable enigmas, while the onirism and fantastic coexist, creating landscapes with impenetrable mysteries. Forests of stones, chimeric animals, embodied masks, and anthropomorphic birds \u2026 the enigmatic and sometimes even oneiric beauty of Max Ernst\u2019s works immerses the viewer in the extravagance of his magical and liberated world.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will benefit from exceptional loans from the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, the Guggenheim in Venice, the Mus\u00e9e Cantini, the Max Ernst Museum in Br\u00fchl, and many private collectors who wish to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n

This exhibition has been produced in collaboration with Madeinart.<\/em><\/p>\n
