Max Ernst wasn't only active as a painter: he has made several movies and several sculptures as well.
Max Ernst was considered to be a man of such high personal integrity and wisdom that he was once allowed to speak directly with Adolph Hitler and convey his opinions against Germany's racial policies.
Max Ernst was the first to write down the equation usually attributed to Boltzmann (S = k lnW). The constant k was first used by Planck in 1900. Lorentz and others called k Planck's (which was Ernst's full name) constant until 1911, when the term Boltzmann’s constant became generally accepted.
