Max Ernst was born in Brühl near Cologne on April 2, 1891, and died in Paris on April 1, 1976. From 1909, he studied philosophy, art history, literature, psychology, and psychiatry in Bonn; after World War I, he joined the Dada movement in Cologne. From 1922, he lived in Paris and became one of the main representatives of Surrealism, using techniques such as collage, frottage, and grattage. After being interned several times, he emigrated to the USA in 1941 with the support of Peggy Guggenheim and returned to France in 1951.
