Encyclopedia : M : MU : MUR : Murdering Airplane

---

Murdering Airplane (1920) is a collage by the German dadaist/surrealist Max Ernst. It depicts a monstrous airplane with human arms flying over an open field. In the lower right two soldiers are carrying a third wounded soldier.

The dada movement was created partly as a critical response to World War I. This had a special significance to Ernst who served in the war. This work was a statement on the advent of aerial warfare that occurred in that war.
