(APPROX 26" BY 20") (1 9 5 7) Here is a wonderful work that captures a still life in a surreal fashion. Surrealism was an important part of the new artistic expression and was often considered 'more real' than realism. Surrealism was supposed to reveal the unobjective truths lurking beneath things, which viewers could peruse and take away with them. A still life was no longer just a still life. It was a statement. A surrealist still life might have a million meanings. It could be mocking conformity or illustrating how the mundane is really extraordinary. Perhaps the most magical thing about many mid century art works is that the artists were incorporating philosophy and thought into the art in a much stronger manner than ever before in history. The art is "self conscious of a higher purpose" and this original work captures this self consciousness in an almost iconic manner! Biomorphic shapes and primary colors bedazzle the observer and this surrealist still life has pleasing symmetry, color and form. One can stare at it endlessly and ponder life as reflected through the kaleidoscope of surrealist art. Art is well preserved under glass! Frame shows age appropriate wear. A wonderful artwork for the discerning collector!
