A weathered wooden post stands against a flat, red background in Max Ernst's 'Red Forest'. The painting's stark imagery and bold colour create a dreamlike, unsettling atmosphere.
Max Ernst (1891-1976) was a German-born painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. A Dadaist early in his career, he became a leading figure in Surrealism. Ernst explored dreamlike imagery and unconventional techniques, often challenging traditional artistic norms. His work is characterised by its enigmatic symbolism and exploration of the subconscious. 'Red Forest' presents a stark, dreamlike scene. A weathered wooden post, complete with embedded nails, dominates the composition against a flat, red background. A small, fern-like plant sprouts at the base of the post, adding a touch of organic life to the otherwise desolate setting. Above, a bright yellow circle, suggestive of a sun or moon, hovers in the sky. The painting's flat perspective and bold colour create a sense of unease, inviting viewers to contemplate the symbolic meaning of the objects and their relationship to one another. The rough texture of the wood contrasts with the smooth, uniform background, enhancing the surreal quality of the work.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Invented frottage by rubbing a pencil over floorboards, made collage novels from Victorian engravings, and married Peggy Guggenheim briefly.
