About Max Ernst

  • Max Ernst (2 April 1891 – 1 April 1976) was a German (naturalised American in 1948 and French in 1958) painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet.
  • A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and surrealism.
  • He had no formal artistic training, but his experimental attitude toward the making of art resulted in his invention of frottage—a technique that uses pencil rubbings of objects as a source of images—and grattage, an analogous technique in which paint is scraped across canvas to reveal the imprints of the objects placed beneath.
  • He is also noted for his novels consisting of collages.
