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.”

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!
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…
I could listen to Anne Umland talk about paintings all day long
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.
She lifts more than I can
🙁
Love how Anne Umland makes the complexity so simple
What a hoot.
grand peintre !!!!!!!!
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.
Anne has pretty good style in all of these videos
I love this. A lot of people in the art world are steeped in art speak and can't effectively communicate to a general audience but she did a very good job.
any digital copy of the book Maximiliana ? how can one take a look at it without going to the museum?
I really REALLY like these videos Anne Umland does for MOMA! Thank you for putting them up because I can't visit you.
Her arms are distractingly great! Damn, I need to get it together.
This lady..I adore her.
Welcome to the gun show!
The art is so-so but her arms are no joke!
Wolfgang Beltracchi did it better…
Color use to set off shapes. Light
Just saying what one can see nothing new said.. waffle nothing about the artists objective in making these specific works..
The asteroid Maximiliana, discovered by Tempel, was renamed Cybele, after the Phrygian goddess of the Earth.
