"If twenty people were to receive royalties
every time the word surreal was spoken,
Max Ernst would be one of them,"
said the BIRD HEAD. ⟿
Five days ago, there was
an Obligation for those of us
with Pope Francis in our blood.
Born in 1891, Max Ernst was a German Catholic.
That holy day of December
Obligation is known as
THE IMMACULATE
CONCEPTION.
That is also the name
of this Ernst piece ➜
In 1918, Max married
Luise Strauss.
In 1920, she gave birth
to Hans-Ulrich Ernst
who was born in
the same city
as his father:
Cologne.
This ROCKING HORSE
may or may not have been
a gift from Father to Son.
That is, a gift from
the Ernst known
as Max to the
Ernst who
became
Jimmy.
And the Ernst who became Jimmy
was also an artist.
He may or may not have been a Surrealist.
You be the judge...
