The artwork titled “My Absolute,” created by Max Ernst in 1934 in Paris, France, is an oil painting on canvas. It belongs to the Cubist art movement and is classified as a symbolic painting.
The artwork portrays a surreal and fragmented scene rendered in a predominantly blue palette. The composition is built up of angular shapes and forms, pieced together to create a sense of depth and abstraction. Various elements, such as a horse-like figure and other indistinct forms, are interwoven in a manner that challenges straightforward interpretation. The use of texture and intricate detailing invites viewers to explore the layers of symbolism and meaning within the painting. The overall aesthetic is dreamlike and complex, characteristic of Ernst’s innovative approach within the Cubist framework.
