Max Ernst | HOW TO SEE the artist with MoMA curator Anne Umland



Max Ernst is often described in textbooks as a key Dada or Surrealist artist, but throughout his long career, he worked across many mediums transforming everyday images into visionary dreamscapes. MoMA curator Anne Umland explores his life and works as a painter, sculptor, collage maker and poet in MoMA’s new exhibition, “Max Ernst: Beyond Painting.”

  1. He seems like a real hufflepuff kind of guy. Always "finding" stuff. But lovely explanation by the curator and I loved how she got passionate and happy at sudden moments especially when describing her favourite pieces!!! Well done!

  2. As an artist who came of age visiting MoMA by biking in to catch the subway in Queens from out on the island, who was fascinated by Max & his pals & their works, I really enjoyed Anne's enthusiastic virtual tour of this exhibit !

    I look forward to watching the rest of these video tours while I paint…

  3. Actually, Tempel is quite famous among astronomers, thanks to his discovery of 21 comets, among them 9P/Tempel, 10P/Tempel, and 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, the latter of which is the progenitor of the famous Leonid Meteor Shower. Tempel also discovered five asteroids.

  4. So was that Peggy – the other figure in the painting of Napoleon, exiled, I wonder? A tricky relationship, from what I read about it. Wonderful tour, thanks! Amazing man! So inventive! Rumour has it, he invented dripping paint onto canvas on the floor from a tin can filled with paint he swung from string – and Pollock saw him doing it. Loved the way he uses frottage! I’m going to give that a go.
