Ernst’s strange “couple” • This is a famous Ernst painting called “The Couple.” • It looks like the people are made of lace or scraps, but Ernst painted it!
Analysis … • Take a close look at these unusual people. Notice the figure on the left. What is funny about this person? Look at the face. Describe it? • Look at the other person. What strange about the body? How would you describe the head? What is this person doing? • Do you think these people are men or women? What gives you that idea? • Who are these people? Why do you think they look this way? • What do you think they are doing together in the picture?
Analysis … • Look into the background of the picture? Notice some of the details. What do you see there? • Where is this scene taking place? What seems to be make believe about this place? • What will happen next?
Other Ernst’s techniques … Frottage Means shading over a raised object We will try it with crayons and various objects like: Coins, leaves, and odds and ends
Ernst’s other techniques … “Drawing Back” This means drawing random objects on a page that at first look like nothing But, then you “draw back” into picture to create real or imaginary objects, people, places from the random things.
Use objects to do frottage technique. Then, “draw back” and create real and imaginary people, places, or objects. See Mr. DeSobe’s example. Ernst assignment #2
