Gala Éluard

Max Ernst French, born Germany
1924
Not on view
Ernst incontrò il poeta Paul Éluard e sua moglie Gala, di origini russe, a Colonia nel 1921. La visita diede inizio a un’amicizia tra i due artisti che durò tutta la vita e accese un’improvvisa passione tra Ernst e Gala. Nel 1922 Ernst si trasferì a Parigi, dove visse con gli Éluard fino al 1924. Nel frattempo era diventato uno dei membri fondatori del Surrealismo. Alla fine della sua relazione con Gala, Ernst rievocò gli occhi della sirena russa in questo dipinto, basato su una fotografia di Man Ray. La cima della testa della donna sembra staccarsi arrotolandosi in avanti, come un manifesto su una parete.
