In 1919, he brought the art movement [[Dadaism]] to Germany, together with [[Johannes Theodor Baargeld]]. In 1922, he left Germany and moved to [[Paris]], where he joined a group of [[Surrealism|Surrealist]]s (a related art movement) led by [[André Breton]]. In 1951 he emigrated to the [[United States]]. He returned to France in 1953. With his [[painting]]s, [[collage]]s, and [[sculpture]]s, he created mysterious combinations using different ways of making images. Often he showed [[bird]]s, and in landscapes that mimic a [[forest]]. He also wrote [[poem]]s, and wrote about art. He was the first to use the techniques called [[Frottage (art)|Frottage]] and [[Grattage]] in art, which involve rubbing the canvas. ==Related pages== *[[List of German painters]] {{Surrealism}} {{bio-stub}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ernst, Max}} [[Category:German artists]] [[Category:1891 births]] [[Category:1976 deaths]]
