About Beim Ersten Klaren Wort (At The First Clear Word)
"Beim Ersten Klaren Wort - (At The First Clear Word)" is a well-known painting by the German Dadaist and surrealist Max Ernst. A female hand reaches through an opening on a wall, with fingers awkwardly crossed and seems to be holding precariously a small bright red sphere. This, in turn, is connected by a crude contraption of string, nails and a colored pin to a huge phasmid (a stick insect), its mouthparts just barely protruding above the wall, offering only a tiny hint of the insect’s existence to anyone who observes behind the separation barrier. The clear blue sky, the choice of colors, the meticulously rendered shadows are all reminiscent of De Chirico’s paintings, offering to the scene a strong dream-like atmosphere of stillness and a sober feeling of some imminent disaster.
