拍品專文

Executed in 1939, Max en bouteille owes much to the visual imagery of Max Ernst's collages from the 1920s. The legs, in particular, recall those of the figure in Ernst's Jeune chimère of circa 1921 (S. 417), while the featureless, mannequin-like head is similar to the tailors dummies depicted by Ernst in the illustrations he produced for the 1922 work Les malheurs des immortels (S. 472 & 482) in collaboration with Paul Eluard, who was later to become a firm friend of the young Oscar Domínguez. Ernst and Domínguez had collaborated in the mid-1930s on the development of décalcomanies, a technique invented by Domínguez but used to great effect by Ernst throughout his career.
