Max Ernst and the Surrealist Revolution
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
The program examines the relationship between the revolutionary rhetoric of Surrealist literature and the works of Max Ernst, which are not evidently about revolutionary subjects. The link is the process whereby Ernst and other Surrealists arrived at their imagery. Ernst developed the techniques of collage, grattage and frottage, which relied on `random' events suggesting or establishing images. The Surrealist revolution lies in this organized artistic expression of the subconscious - to use Ernst's own words, in `the synthesis of objective and subjective life'.
