Jeux d'infants 1971

"Jeux d'infants" (1971) by Dado (1933-2010) is a surrealist painting depicting a chaotic scene with figures seemingly suspended in a blue-green space. The figures are distorted and fragmented, suggesting a sense of unease and disorientation. The title, translating to "Children's Games", creates a stark contrast to the disturbing imagery, highlighting the artist's exploration of the dark side of innocence and childhood. The work reflects Dado's signature style, characterized by a grotesque and disturbing depiction of human form in an often dreamlike setting.
