Imens i livet hos Max Ernst
Hele livet1946–1953
Sedona: a house and “Capricorn” built with his own hands
Ernst built the house himself, helped by a young admirer and short of money, and made the 2.4-metre Capricorn, a seated bull-man, from empty bottles, springs and cement; the property became known as Capricorn Hill. The couple took an interest in the rites of the local Native American tribes, Ernst buying objects and masks from them, and friends visited only occasionally.
1948
The book “Beyond Painting”
In 1948 Ernst published the large essay Beyond Painting, compiled in Sedona; as a result of the book and its publicity he began to achieve financial success.
1950–1953
Return to France
By some accounts Ernst went back to France in 1950 and settled in Paris; by others he lived in Sedona until 1953. From the 1950s he lived mainly in France and achieved financial success.
