Women-Trees 1937

Paul Delvaux's 1937 painting, "Women-Trees," showcases the artist's signature Surrealist style. The work depicts four nude women, their lower halves seamlessly merging with tree trunks, standing in a desolate, classical-inspired setting. The juxtaposition of human forms with nature creates an unsettling, dreamlike atmosphere, hinting at the themes of transformation, interconnectedness, and the subconscious. The painting is considered a prime example of Delvaux's fascination with the female form and his exploration of the liminal spaces between reality and fantasy. "Women-Trees" can be found at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy.
