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.
