Multiplication of the Arcs
Multiplication of the Arcs
Yves Tanguy 1954.
A sublime and puzzling work from one of Surrealism’s many underwritten geniuses. Organic shapes clutter an alien landscape, contorting into vaguely familiar forms, like those of animals, plants and people. A deeply psychological painting that can be read as an illustration of some subconscious realm, a transient and indefinable dream.

this is an excellent work by Tanguy. theres a chapter in the book i am now reading, called ‘the multiplication of the arcs’. the book is ‘The Drought’ by J.G Ballard. Tanguy is referenced many times there
