BEYOND THE PAINTING
Buongiorno! Today I present " L’ange du foyer", created by Ernst in 1937. Such a colourful and strong painting, but how come? The artist was highly affected by the atrocity of the Civil Spanish war and he decided to represent it as a destructive power, symbolized by this majestic flying animal: it's unstoppable and thunderous.
Easy to catch is the contrast with Guernica by Picasso, who instead decided to depict the pietas and torture felt by the spanish people.
It was very formative for me to work on this painting! Until that time I was concentrated mostly on the study of the human body with all its parts..well and apart from that, I really like when colours play such an important role in the communication of emotions to the observer :D
