Max Ernst - The Dressing of the Bride

A typical example of Ernst's illusionistic surrealism, The Bride's Clothing presents a disturbing, nightmarish situation, in an atmosphere of splendor that contrasts with the monstrous figures depicted. Ernst chooses an unusual painting technique here, combining the transfer with the oil paint on the canvas, thus achieving the effect of a unique grainy texture.
