Max Ernst’s Robing of the Bride at first confuses a viewer with its half bird, half man subjects. Ernst uses these subjects to portray the everyday phases in the life of a bride and wife. His portrayal is filled with strong symbolism that tells the story of the joys, fears, and troubles that any woman faces during marriage. The end result is a work that symbolizes the strength of a woman throughout her entire life.
The Robing of the Bride [La Toilette de la mariée](1940)
Oil on canvas, 129.6 x 96.3 cm.
The title of this work had occurred to Ernst at least as early as 1936, when he italicized it in a text in his book "Beyond Painting." Ernst had long identified himself with the bird, and had invented an alter ego, Loplop, Superior of the Birds, in 1929. Thus one may perhaps interpret the bird-man at the left as a depiction of the artist; the bride may in some sense represent the young English Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington.
