`was a German (naturalised American in 1948 and French in 1958)
`painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. He inspired in Max a penchant for defying authority, while his interest in painting and sketching in nature influenced Max to take up painting.He had no formal artistic training, but his experimental attitude toward the making of art resulted in his invention of frontage—a technique that uses pencil rubbings of objects as a source of images— and 'grattage', an analogous technique in which paint is scraped across canvas to reveal the imprints of the objects placed beneath. He is also noted for his novels consisting of collages.
