RE: 🎨 Deamons and Monsters - "The Temptation of St. Anthony"
Max Ernst is one of my favourites. Like me he worked in many different ways without bothering about keeping up a recognisable style. It somehow appeals to me.
I always wondered why the temptation of St. Anthony always is so horrendous, not really very tempting is it. But it has always been like that I know and it has made for many fascinating pictures.
I too like how Max Ernst's work always changes. Same with me. There was a time when I looked at my "mess" compared to a structured body of work of many of my colleagues. My problem is, as soon as I "arrive" somewhere, I don't look at it as a method to be applied from then on. I get bored and start something else... with all the problems of a fresh start ;-)
Haha, yes just the same here. I want to master everything and I want to do new things in new ways all the time. It was a hell of a problem with the gallery owner back when I was doing exhibitions. They really like to have a brand - not a crazy scientist.
Haha... funny how we keep discovering things we have in common. I had a gallery owner like that too. He pretty much wanted me to have a selection of "products" so he could simply order "variations"
Somehow I do understand their position - they are salesmen, and they just want an easy product to sell - that's where we are different from them. I never went the easy way... probably should have :)
