In the thick of the forest is a childlike depiction of a dove. Both the forest and dove themes have appeared several times in Ernst's works.

  • Forest and Dove (1927) is a painting by the German surrealist Max Ernst. It depicts a nocturnal scene of a forest of bizarre, abstract trees. In the thick of the forest is a childlike depiction of a dove. Both the forest and dove themes have appeared several times in Ernst's works. According to an analysis by the Tate Gallery in London the forest image represents the forest near Ernst's childhood home which inspired a sense of ‘enchantment and terror’ in the artist. The same analysis also states that the dove represents Ernst himself. The painting has a heavily textured and three-dimensional appearance. This is owed to a technique called grattage. Grattage was invented by Ernst and the Spanish surrealist Joan Miró. This technique involves scraping the paint across the canvas so that the paint takes on the imprints of objects placed beneath the canvas. (en)
  • Forest and Dove (1927) é um quadro do pintor surrealista, Max Ernst. Mostra uma cena nocturna de uma floresta com árvores bizarras e abstractas. No meio da floresta encontra-se a representação de uma pomba como feita por uma criança. Quer a floresta quer a pomba aparecem várias vezes nos trabalhos de Ernst. De acordo com uma análise da Tate Gallery, em Londres, a imagem da floresta representa a floresta que existia perto da casa de infância do autor, que lhe inspiraria um sentimento de encantamento e terror. A mesma análise indica que a pomba representa o autor. Este quadro tem uma textura e aparência tridimensional fortes. Isto é devido a uma técnica denominada grattage. Esta ténica foi inventada por Ernst e pelo pintor surrealista Joan Miró. (pt)
