"The Last Fish" (1974) by Leonora Carrington is a surrealist painting that depicts a lone, white fish resting in a black circular space against a beige background. The painting's dreamlike atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of numerous rounded mounds with openings, suggestive of caves or shelters, each topped with a simple structure resembling a radio antenna. The work is a testament to Carrington's fascination with the subconscious and her penchant for depicting enigmatic and symbolic imagery.
