Max Ernst: Surreal Mindscapes & Characters

Max Ernst: Surreal Mindscapes & Characters
April 9 - June 1, 2024

Join Eric Ernst, grandson of the artist Max Ernst, for a look back at this recent exhibition in Schaefer International Gallery. Born in Germany, Max Ernst was a key figure in the movements of Dada and Surrealism that took place in Europe in the early part of the 20th century. This exhibition highlighted Ernst’s role in the development of these historical art movements through a selection of sculptures, prints, and a series of tapestries by Yvette Cauquil-Prince, who worked closely with the artist to translate his paintings into large-scale woven textiles. With a number of rarely exhibited works from Ernst’s wide-spanning career, the exhibition offered windows of insight into his working process and his life spent in Sedona, Arizona.
