Philosophy of Max ernst

"Being a dadaist by profession is a contradiction in terms."
Max Ernst

He believed there was no such thing as an unchanging state of revolution. "To put the spirit of Dada on exhibition was no more than a weak illustration, like trying to capture the violence of an explosion by presenting the shrapnel."
(pp.1 Artchive.com)


 
 


 "I was no longer able to feel at ease in the somewhat puritanical and disembodied intellectualism of the
 more orthodox Surrealists. I feel, at heart, a far greater affinity with the German Romantics than many
 of the French Surrealists..."
                                                            - Max Ernst, 1962, quoted by Edouard Roditi
