Max Ernst

In, Terre Ecossaise, 1935, Max Ernst uses the element of line to achieve the principle of balance in this painting. I love the colors that he used and the surreal landscape.


In his painting, Europe After the Rain, 1942, he uses the element of color to achieve the principle of emphasis. Each section of the painting is emphasized with a different color and he puts the brightest and the darkest color just off center. I like the detail and the warm colors.

I could not find the name for this Max Ernst painting, but I LOVE it the most. He uses the element of pattern and texture to achieve the principle of rhythm.
