THE ANTIPOPE, MAX ERNST. 1942

Saturated colours, textures, intrinsic decadence and sombre fantasy.

Demons Of The Flesh

My favourite artist is the surrealist Max Ernst. His work is so contorted, warped and expressive. I found it funny that when I was researching Zeena Lavey (Anton Lavey’s daughter) a published book by her and her husband used my favourite piece by Ernst on the cover ‘The Robing of the Bride’ (1940) . I’m so curious as to why they chose this piece? I suppose the fluid sensuality and juxtaposition of elements would have appealed to them. I've always wanted to make a huge feathered blood orange coat with a hood emulating the one depicted in the painting.

Anyway, it inspired me to do a quick illustration.
