About Chinese Nightingale
"Chinese Nightingale" is a well-known painitng by Max Ernst from a series of collages where he combined illustrations of war machinery with those of human limbs and various accessories to create strange hybrid creatures. In The Chinese Nightingale, for example, the arms and fan of an oriental dancer act as the limbs and headdress of a creature whose body is an English bomb. An eye has been added above the bracket on the side of the bomb to create the effect of a bizarre bird. Thus Ernst's whimsy defuses the fear associated with bombs. This catharsis no doubt had a personal resonance for Ernst who was injured in the war by the recoil of a gun.About the Art Prints
