About The Toreador (Le Toréador)
In Le toréador a constructed figure, somewhat reminiscent of some of Giorgio de Chrico's part-furniture/part mannequin philosophers has seeming grown from a coquillage-type landscape. The painting is one of a group oils from 1930 founded on a similar theme. Several versions of L'homme et la femme along with Les papillons and ultimately perhaps Loplop de mauvaise humeur depict similar easel-type figures seemingly emerging from the abstracted patterns, forms and constructions of Ernst's painting at this time. Eerie, amorphous but somehow also noble and defiant, Ernst's 'Toreador' stands in this seemingly fertile desert landscape littered with the painterly growth of shell-flowers, like one of Picasso's figures on the beach at Dinard or Yves Tanguy's amorphous undersea figures as a powerful totem of a unique world of mystery and imagination.
