"Der Hausengel - (The Fireside Angel)" is one of the rare works by Max Ernst that was inspired directly by world political events. The artist was motivated to paint the work after Franco's fascists defeated the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. This fantastical creature, with arms and legs extended, appears to be leaping with a garish, yet joyous, expression on its face. The figures and its appendages are oddly colored and malformed. Further, its leg seems to be spawning another being, as if a cancerous growth spreading. Like the war, this monster fanstastic destroys everything in its path, without reflection, in the midst of an inner delusion incomprehensible.
