{"product_id":"landscape-with-sun-max-ernst","title":"Landscape with Sun - Max Ernst","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early 1909 oil painting by Max Ernst, featuring energetic brushwork and a bold, expressive use of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in 1909, this early work by Max Ernst predates his involvement with the Dada and Surrealist movements. At this stage in his career, Ernst was heavily influenced by the Post-Impressionist and Expressionist styles prevalent in Germany. The composition displays a clear interest in the emotive power of colour and the physical application of paint, rather than a strict adherence to representational accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe canvas is dominated by horizontal bands of colour, which suggest a sky and a horizon line. A bright, circular sun sits near the top, rendered in thick, impasto strokes of yellow. Below this, a band of fiery orange and red cuts across the centre, contrasting with the cooler blues and greens that occupy the lower portion of the frame. The brushwork is energetic and visible, creating a textured surface that captures light and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece offers a glimpse into the formative years of an artist who would later become known for his experimental techniques and dreamlike imagery. Here, the focus remains on the atmospheric quality of the scene. The application of paint is direct, with little blending, allowing the individual colours to retain their intensity. It is a study in light and mood, reflecting the artist's early engagement with the possibilities of oil paint as a medium for personal expression. The signature and date are visible in the lower right, confirming its origin during his time in Bonn. This print captures the tactile quality of the original oil paint, preserving the heavy brushwork and the raw energy of Ernst's early experimentation with colour theory and composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/composition-2-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition 2 - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Max Ernst","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844529557839,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844539748687,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844539781455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844539814223,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844539846991,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landscape-with-Sun_Poster_CompositorV1_1790029657217.jpg?v=1790031093","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/landscape-with-sun-max-ernst","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
