About Max Ernst: Max Ernst was a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism.
When the artist finds himself he is lost. The fact that he has succeeded in never finding himself is regarded by Max Ernst as his only lasting achievement.
Art has nothing to do with taste. Art is not there to be tasted
Creativity is that marvelous capacity to grasp mutually distinct realities and draw a spark from their juxtaposition.
All good ideas arrive by chance.
Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.
