Prof. Werner Spies, Peter Schamoni | Max Ernst

Max Ernst, the most important artist of Dadaism and Surrealism spent his life creating images of life – imagery and image worlds. But to truly understand what moved this extraordinary 20th-century artist requires a look at the pictures of his own life and insights into numerous original documents, letters, impromptu poems and diaries. The insights that Prof. Werner Spies, Germany’s foremost art historian, shares with his listeners in this discussion with Peter Schamoni, a renowned author, director and producer, shed light on the artist’s eventful life and also provide a compelling perspective on an entire century in art.
