Max Ernst "Loplop"
In this Max Ernst piece i like how he used random shapes and just put them together to make art. I don't really know what is going on in this picture but its very catchy. Its kind of dull though there are some colors. But it is a very unique piece and is very imaginary. The figure in the middle has some human attributes combines with shapes. Its a very nice piece.
