'''Max Ernst''' (born 1891 in Brühl, near Cologne - Paris, 1976) [[German]] [[painter]]. In 1922, Max Ernst, following an invitation of his Dadaist friends, Gala and Paul Eluard, Tristan Tzara, André Breton (First Surrealist Manifesto, 1924), and others, moved to [[Paris]].
<blockquote>
In the late 1920s Ernst turned to the beloved motifs of German Romanticism and revived them in a new, Surrealistic, manner: dark forests, mysterious caves, gloomy cliffs, dead moonlight, figures and faces which appear like ghosts from interlacing branches and twigs; appearing artworks like ''Fishbone Forest, 1927, Hunter 1926, Vision Induced by the Nocturnal Aspect of the Porte St. Denis. 1927, Bird in a Forest, The Horde, 1927''.

Between 1941 and 1952 Ernst lived in America; in New York, where together with other European emigrant painters, he not only worked but also shared his knowledge and experience with younger American colleagues, thus leaving a lasting and profound influence on the development of American modern art.
