Learning, memes and art at the same time

"Das Rendezvous der Freunde" by the German dada/surrealist painter, Max Ernst. German painter of the 20th century he lived to see both world wars ; he served in the first one and said that he was 'dead' during that period. He was arrested by both the French police and Gestapo during WWII, by the former because he was German and by the latter because his art was considered heretical and disruptive by the nazi regime ; he managed to flee to the USA. His painting style was influenced by his peers and found its roots in late expressionism and surrealism. On a side note, he had a tumultuous love life, had many wives, took part in a ménage à trois with Paul Eluard and his wife,...
While fleeing to the USA, he said :"Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks".
