Une Semaine de Bonte by Max Ernst

Here is my imaginative interpretation of Max Ernst's Une Semaine de Bonte.

The women and birds could possibly signify fertility. The women are dying because they have slowly become non-fertile. Thus being said, a witch preforms a ritual to mate with a rooster demon to try and save mankind. The demon comes in her sleep and implants an egg in her womb. Eventually before she dies, she gives birth to this demon rooster child.

Now, the rooster men start to take over and they force women to repopulate with them. By using their human genitalia to reproduce and create their own demon rooster human species, over populating the human race. They keep the women in dungeons and torture them for whatever reasons they deem necessary.After that, the women create a secret society and rebel against the rooster men.

Max Ernst was an artist that was inspired by his dreams. In general, reading or viewing how other artists portray their dreams is always entertaining. Another popular example would be Salvador Dali. It is like a little doorway into what's going on in their heads. Some of the things seen are wacky, but for the most part awesome! Dreams have been about for forever and help us in many ways of expressing how we feel, what we're thinking, how to fix things, and help our learning processes. Very interesting to view and interpret Ernst's images. As the saying goes, "don't knock it until you try it."
