What is Max Ernst known for in art?
I am known for my relentless exploration of the subconscious through radical artistic techniques. Collage, frottage, and decalcomania were not mere tricks, but pathways to unearthing hidden realities. By juxtaposing disparate elements, I sought to shock the viewer out of complacency and reveal the uncanny connections that lie beneath the surface of everyday life. My aim was to liberate the imagination from the chains of logic and convention, forging a new language for art.
