Max Ernst was born on April 2, 1891 in Bruhl, Germany. He attended the University of Bonn in 1914 to study philosophy but never finished his degree. While out of school Ernst began to study predominately painting, seditious philosophers and unorthodox poetry. He than became interested in psychology and the art of the mentally ill. When WW1 came out Ernst was put into the German army and served in the artillery division, where he experienced traumatic experiences of the trench warfare. Ernst is one of many artist who came back from the military service emotionally wounded.
Erik Johansson was born in 1985 in Gotene, Sweden. He had grew up on a farm with his parents and two younger sisters. Johansson loved to draw for as long as he could remember, most likely because his grandmother was a painter. In his early teenage years he got interested in computers and at the age of 15 he got his first digital camera which opened a new world. In 2005 he moved to Gothenburg to study computer engineering at Chalmers University of Technology.He then mixed his love for photography and computers who is now known for blending reality without photo shop.
Artist Name: Max Ernst
Title: Murdering Airplane
Date: 1920
Description: Human arms and flying over a field, In the low right corner you see two soldiers that are carrying a third wounded solider.
Analysis: I think the meaning of this photo is to show how a plane which is a type of machine can have human characteristics. The painting itself gives off a dark and mysterious feeling.
Interpretation: I think Ernst interpretations of his piece was to show how WWI effected him emotionally threw this piece of artwork.
Judgement: My opinion of this artwork is that because Ernst was in WWI so this image shows how leaving the war left him emotionally wise.
Artist Name:Erik Johansson
Title: Go Your Own Road
Date:2008
Description: Erik Johansson in this image is creating his own road/path.
Analysis: The way I viewed this image was that he was creating his own road/path which is a positive thing because he isn't following what everyone else is doing. The picture gives off a positive feeling because it had natural lighting and and has a nice scenery to look off into.
Interpretation: I think Johansson's message threw his art work was to inform people that it is okay to make your own road and to not follow others just because society is telling you its the right thing to do/be.
Judgement: I think this image is extremely creative. The road he is making is very detailed with the wrinkles as if he were actually pulling and creating his own road to whatever/wherever he wants to be.
