  • I really like Ernst’s work, and am kinda surprised Holywood hasnt made a biopic about his life yet. Pretty much believed his pet bird from his childhood that died was reincarnated as his sister. Had no formal artistic training other than being interested in the art of patients living in asylums. Fought in WWI. Was part of a thrupple in France.

    When WWII broke out he was arrested by the French for being German. Then France fell and he was arrested by the Gestapo for his surrealist art (and preciously having married a Jewish woman). Escaped and fled to America until the 50’s.
