Sky, moon and water

Humboldt Current interprets a cold current in the Pacific Ocean and  is an intriguing example of the way that Max Ernst worked. Here he placed a wooden board behind his canvas and allowed the pattern of the grain to come through. Allowing nature itself to play an active part in Ernst’s reproduction of nature. The poster captures the strong colors of the original.

To stand in front of originals and look at art one-to-one is always a very special experience.
