Old Dad Raine by Max Ernst

In 1953, Ernst traveled through the Rhine Valley, which resulted in this picture. On her example, you can very clearly see what changes occurred in the manner and worldview of the artist after World War II.

During this period, the main motifs of Ernst’s work were landscapes and cosmogonic abstractions. The palette of the artist becomes much lighter in the 1950s, and the texture of his works is richer and more restrained at the same time.
