About The Artist
Yves Tanguy (1900–1955) was a French Surrealist painter known for his dreamlike and fantastical landscapes. Born in Paris, Tanguy initially worked in various odd jobs before committing himself to art in the 1920s. Influenced by Giorgio de Chirico, his early works featured barren landscapes populated by enigmatic, biomorphic forms, exemplified in paintings like "Mama, Papa is Wounded!" (1927). Tanguy's unique style evolved into intricate, hallucinatory compositions, and he became associated with Surrealist luminaries like André Breton and Salvador Dalí. His use of precise, almost mechanical forms set against vast, eerie horizons established him as a key figure in Surrealist painting. Tanguy's dreamscapes, characterized by meticulous detail and imaginative flair, contributed significantly to the Surrealist exploration of the subconscious and the fantastical.
