Europe After Rain II


Europe After the Rain II, (1940-1942)
Another by Max Ernst
This painting was made when he lived in N.Y. It is his view ( in a surrealistic way)of the troubled social problems in Europe.
It is a very detailed piece. Though it looks to be just landscape, a closer "blown up" view shows the intricate detail used to blend the figures though out the piece. As in almost all of work, there seems to be a lot of pain portrayed here.

  1. It is great, in a troubling way. There si such strong visual elements, that his views are not difficult to understand.
