About Sunday Afternoon In The Champs Elysees (Dimanche Aprèsmidi Sur Les Champs Elysées)
There is a mysterious geometry present in dimanche après-midi sur les champs Elysées. In this picture, painted in 1958 by the veteran surrealist max Ernst, an almost cubistic agglomeration of arcs and angles coalesces, and from this prismatic haze emerge two totemic figures. Each of them is reminiscent of the sculptures that Ernst had been making during his time in the united states of America, a period which had begun shortly after the outbreak of the second world war. With their deliberately slab-like faces, articulated by round eyes and in the case of the left-hand figure a cavernous mouth, Ernst has evoked his own sculptures as well as those of the native Americans, whose art he collected and whose ceremonial dances and other rituals he so enjoyed witnessing during his time living in Sedona with his wife and fellow artist dorothea tanning. By the time dimanche après-midi sur les champs Elysées was painted, Ernst was once again largely resident in his adoptive home, France, and indeed was that year granted citizenship there, marking his return to Europe. Perhaps dimanche après-midi sur les champs Elysées visually refers to this transition through its combination of a pseudo-cubistic planar composition with the tribal art of the hopi and zuni peoples he so admired.
