​

Max Ernst  - was a founder of the Dada group and a highly influential surrealist artist. His work embraces his unconscious, tackling both his desires and demons. Max Ernst favoured subject matter derived from his childhood fantasies. Although, he had no formal training, his talent was clear from an early age. Max Ernst was born in Cologne, Germany to a deeply religious family. In 1911, he attended Bonn University, Germany where he studied philosophy and psychology. It was whilst at university that he met August Macke and a number of the Blue Rider group - an association of painters who shared an interest in abstracted forms and prismatic colors.
