ARTS The Mieiigan Daily Monday, February 16, 1987 Page 7 The importance of seeing (Max) By Charles Oestreicher Last Friday, the University of ?1ichigan's Museum of Art presented a new exhibit which explores fascinating and little- kbown aspects of the brilliant Dadaist and surrealist artist Max Ernst's career. The exhibit, entitled "Max Ernst: Beyond Surrealism," is ap offbeat and occassionally bizarre display encompassing Ernst's lifetime work aside from painting. this may seem unusual, because it 4as for his paintings that Ernst first became exhibited and recognized, and for which he still receives acclaim. However, the artist himself found other techniques, such as .collage and ftottage, to be more potent and provocative in presenting images. By expressing himself in various ,. edia besides paint, Ernst transcended the limits he felt painting set on his creativity to arrive at a level "beyond" surrealism, where art began to more closely resemble the human dream process as he envisioned it. Ernst's lifelong academic pursuits played a continual role in his creative endeavors, and their influence is much in evidence at the exhibit. Ernst's etchings, litographs, collages, and other works in various mixed media represent an intellectual side to the artist, both in their content and presentation. Themes are prevalent in many of the pieces; they are This cerebral collection of pieces illuminates a side of Ernst's career and personality which often goes ignored. other authors, such as noted surrealists and close friends Hans Arp and Paul Eluard. Works done in frottage form, a pencil-rubbing- over-objects technique which Ernst invented, are also major con - tributions to the overwhelming na - ture of the large display. Several hundred works comprise the exhibit, ranging from linoleum block prints produced by the artist in 1911 to etchings and litographs executed a few years before his death in 1976. There is an eerie overall consistency to the work; in terms of proficiency, it is hard to differentiate between works produced at the beginning of the artist's career and it's end. Several very famous works by Ernst are on display, among them his "Histore Naturelle" of 1926. This 34 part series marks Ernst's first experimentation with the frottage technique, and within it he combines within single pieces several different frottage images to produce strange impressions of Earth's natural history. Represented in the series are the formation of Earth, the oceans, plant and animal life, among other things. The series ends with a picture of "Eve, the only one left to us." The imagery Ernst uses to conjure "Histore Naturelle" defies description; suffice it to say it deviates from standard tellings of the theme severely, though pleasantly. Examples of Ernst's "Collage Books" are also on display, most notably the famous 1929 piece "La Femme 100 Tetes." The title plays on the rhyme of the French words cent, for 100, and sans, meaning without. Ernst seeks to portray a woman who simultaneously posseses a hundred heads and no head at all. Ernst took his images in the collages from turn-of-the- century French magazines and pulp romance novel illustrations, and combines them hilariously and frighteningly into a story told entirely through the pictures. Few artists have ever been able to produce such distinctive and disturbing pictures in any medium. Ernst's various other etchings Impact Jazz goes "Gold" Ernst and litographs also prove to be stimulating and perplexing. Their sophisticated experimentation with various forms of coloration, line, surface and shape extend the boundaries of the known and obvious and hint at mysteries that can perhaps never be solved. The fascinating use of known elements to produce completely foreign images both puzzles and delights. See BEYOND page 9 often timps groiped together in series or as illustrations in actual books, with or without text. Ernst himself produced many "collage books," books which consisted entirely of collages which combined to tell a story, without utilizing any words. There are also items on display which Ernst executed as companion pieces to books by By Jose-Arturo Martinez It was a mixed bag performance. A little bit of Solid Gold style jazz, a little bit of theatre mixed in, some interesting works and some not so interesting. But, that's the risk you run when there is no single voice speaking for a dance company. Impact Jazz performed this weekend at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre to good sized crowds. I think in that there is a lesson for the powers that be in the Ann Arbor dance community. There is definately an appetite for Jazz dance in this town. The "Hair Medly" was by far the most ambitious work of the evening. Lasting almost a half hour it used music that was older than some of the dancers performing in it. Jenny Dewar's choreography, skillful use of her dancers, and the slide show accompanying the program made it the best conceived work of the show. "Detour," Victoria Tobia's entry in the concert was the most fun of all the dances. The quirky, thor- oughly enjoyable work was choreographed to the music of James Taylor and used the theatrical talents of its cast to its fullest. Light and fun in its conception, the audience had as much fun with this piece as I did. The highlight of the first act came in Lindsey Yeager's work choreographed to the music of Sade. "Frankie's First Affair" worked to fit the storyline in the music. It is apparant that this style of inter- See IMPACT page 8 mi.
