THE ARTWORK
A slender figure walks on an inclined plane while a dark circular form appears above. In La ballade du soldat, Max Ernst connects a few elements, leaving broad empty areas.
The black-and-white lithograph alternates precise lines with the density of the core enclosed in the circle. The image remains narrative yet elusive: a path, a presence and an apparition held together by an unusual balance.
