Max Ernst was a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism.
Max Ernst attacked the conventions and traditions of art, all the while possessing a thorough knowledge of European art history. He questioned the sanctity of art by creating non-representational works without clear narratives, by making sport of religious icons, and by formulating new means of creating artworks to express the modern condition.

About Young Man Crossing a River (Jeune homme traversant une rivière) Max Ernst Surrealist Art Painting
"Aquis Submersus - (Drowned In The Waters)" is one of the earliest works of the German dadaist and surrealist Max Ernst, showing surrealistical accents. The painting depicts a swimming pool surrounded by buildings. One surreal aspect of the work is its rejection of stringent logic. The buildings leave shadows against the sky like a wall. Hanging in the sky is a clock that reflects on the water as a moon. In the pool, the picture shows a possibly female or childish body in an upside-down position with only the waist and legs above the water level. The person appears to be diving or is drowning.About the Posters
