Yves Tanguy
Artwork Detail
Tanguy was a completely self-taught painter who began his career in earnest after seeing one of de Chirico's influential early metaphysical paintings, The child's brain, in a Paris picture-dealer's window. His work was characterised by desert, marine or lunar landscapes full of strange objects in a boundless dream-space, and are fine examples of the Surrealist ambition to create a spontaneous visual imagery of the unconscious.
