my homie Alegria bought me
this crazy good Max Ernst book for my birthday:
'For Max Ernst, existence as an artist meant continuously dealing with his surroundings.
Like the many artists who influenced his work in a multitude of ways, Max Ernst also provided
crucial impulses to his own contemporaries as well as subsequent generations of artists.
As autodidact, he rejected the classic academic training of painters & in this regard
he was typical of an entire generation of young artists.
Although he was enthusiastic about art and had already been led to drawing as a young child
by his father, he first decided to approach art on a theoretical level.'
