Unusual painting.
Hello, Louisville!

Peggy Guggenheim was married to his father in the 40's..so that was a connection easily come by...and they both disliked Max by that time ..that creates a bond 😊

Just looked up some of his other work - really cool!

Now Max Ernst's Europe After the Rain is worth checking out. Had no idea his son was an artist too

Art is supposed to make you feel or think...

This one did both. It made me feel a bit bilious, and I think it's over priced.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I don't think much of it, but others may think it's great.

I got drunk in the 2 minutes and 51 seconds that this video played..I had a shot of tequila every time someone said the word piece.

It’s so sad his mother died in a concentration camp. I see the barbed wire of the concentration camp in this picture.

$5G for something that looks like cracked glass. smh

Affirmative action. Not very good. Hyperinflation the value, however not meeting artificially induced expectations. Sounds right. Also awkward.

Art is supposed to make you feel and think? OK. This made me feel sick. I've never liked this kind of art. I really doubt the people who make this kind of stuff could draw a tree, a mountain, a sea scape, if their lives depended on it. But some people like this kind of stuff.

you’re not chic, urbane, and brilliant if you don’t appreciate this artwork. 🙄
