“Homage to Marcel Duchamp” by Max Ernst, created in 1970, is an etching on paper belonging to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) art movement. This abstract artwork measures 38 x 28.5 cm.
The artwork features a dynamic interplay of lines and shapes set against a textured background of greenish hues. Black, swirling lines weave through the composition, each punctuated intermittently by star-like cross shapes. Delicate blue splatters add to the sense of movement and complexity. This etching utilizes an abstract style to evoke a sense of fluidity and spontaneity, resonating with Ernst’s unique artistic vision.
