The search and development of new techniques is inherent in Max Ernst's oeuvre. He used over-painting, collage, frottage, grattage. In this sense, the Décalcomanie technique also helped him to alienate the mundane and to stage the inexplicable in a vexing manner. The dark brushstrokes roll off against a light background. Max Ernst imagines the atmosphere of the beginning of a day when the curtain of night is lifted. It is the time of dreams and expression of the subconscious. [EH]
