"The Eye of Silence"

Max Ernst (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 108 x 141 cm - 1943 - Surrealism (i)
Max Ernst was living in exile in New York when he painted The Eye of Silence. The painting suggests a brown lake surrounded by green and brown shapes, He used decalcomania to produce texture, this is a process where paint is transferred from one surface to another. In the right foreground, there is a sphinx-like human figure and a background of dark ominous clouds. The composition evokes a land of ruins, foliage and rock formations. It is not a refined or composed image but is reminiscent of exotic garden architecture, imbuing a sense of loneliness and exile. Max Ernst was one of the first to explore his psyche using The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud.
