Week One; Max Ernst
Interpreting and Understanding Max Ernst’s Illustrations.
Working in class we were instructed to interpret several of Ernst’s pieces. Each had its own portion of a narrative to share. The first being the women with her chicken. She appeared to be dancing or attempting to scare the chicken off of the ball on which it sat.
The second piece was a bird ma standing over what appeared to be the dead body of a women. He seemed to be mourning her or bidding her goodnight.
The third image showed several humanistic animals surrounding a women in a grave. Either mourning or there to see her off.
Two animal men sit aside a nude women. They are admiring a cloth perhaps trying to decide if it is fitting for the women to wear or are contemplating feasting on her.
The fifth image shows a ma in his own blood laying on the floor with an individual either rejoicing or in shock to find his or her employer dead on the floor.
Image six showed a ma; pinned against a dresser with a rooster behind him and a women in anguish at what she sees. It is almost as though the mais being pinned to the dresser or controlled by the rooster,
The seventh image shows a rooster holding a stick in front of two well dressed ladies. He looks as though he is about to beat them silly and the women appear to be almost oblivious to the threat.
The eighth and final work shows two women cowering in a room from a beast at the door. Their fear is apparent and the beast feels almost as though to represent a man, one whom the women obviously have no desire to meet.
I did take a rather, observers view of the strips and am hoping to learn to take a much more active approach I the future.
