Pâtisseries c. 1929

Léonor Fini's 1929 painting, "Pâtisseries," depicts a still life of various pastries arranged on a table. The artist's signature surrealist style is evident in the exaggerated forms and the use of vivid colors. The pastries, rendered with meticulous detail, appear both delicious and slightly unsettling, hinting at the artist's interest in the darker side of desire and indulgence. This evocative work exemplifies Fini's unique ability to blend the mundane with the fantastical, creating a captivating visual experience that lingers in the viewer's mind.
