Composition 1931

"Composition" (1931) by Toyen (1902-1980) is a captivating example of Surrealism, a movement that explored the subconscious mind. Toyen's work is characterized by its dreamlike imagery and bold use of color and form. This piece features a central, branching structure resembling a tree or a skeletal form, with the addition of floating, biomorphic shapes that allude to the human body. The work's organic elements, combined with its otherworldly atmosphere, invite the viewer to ponder the nature of reality and perception.
