max ernst

Visited the Max Ernst exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum. A paradox. I don’t like his art that much – echoes of Klee, Varo, Miro, Cornell, and other artists who sing those notes with clearer voice – but his TITLES!!! and such a blast of transformational artcourage and creative productivity in his life story.

Some titles:

• Loplop and the mouse’s horoscope
• Let us give thanks unto Satan and rejoice in the goodwill he has shown us
• The eye without eyes, the hundred-headless woman keeps her secret
• The Eternal Father vainly endeavours to separate light from darkness
• Spiritual repose
• Loplop and The Fair Gardener
• The Hundred-Headless Woman Loosens her Majestic Sleeve

WOW
