Trophy, Hypertrophied (1919) is a work of art by the German artist Max Ernst who was a pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism in Europe. This work is believed to be one of Ernst's earliest known pieces.[1] The work was produced using a technique called line-block printing – a type of relief printing – to which Ernst later added further detail by drawing over the design with pen and ink. It depicts a complex mechanical instrument featuring a series of pulleys, gears and planetary symbols. The style of the work resembles a schematic drawing or architectural plan. Ernst created a similar piece the same year titled Farewell My Beautiful Land of Mary Laurencen. Help!
