“Fruit of a Long Experience,” created by Max Ernst in 1919, is a Surrealist artwork rendered in oil on wood. This abstract piece measures 45.7 x 38 cm and currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork is characterized by its assemblage technique, combining various geometric and irregular shapes to create a complex, layered composition. The use of wood fragments and textured surfaces adds a tactile dimension, while the muted color palette of green, brown, and earthy tones provides a sense of depth. The juxtaposition of distinct elements and the incorporation of everyday objects reflect the hallmark Surrealist fascination with transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, evoking a dream-like, enigmatic experience.
