Landscape with a chair 1929 - 1930

Mikuláš Galanda's "Landscape with a Chair" (1929-1930) is a surrealist artwork that depicts a chair partially submerged in a blue, amorphous form, seemingly floating in a landscape. The chair, rendered with simple, linear strokes, appears detached from its surroundings, creating a sense of isolation and the unexpected. The blue form evokes the sea, a surrealist symbol often used to represent the unconscious or the unknown. The contrasting colors and the juxtaposition of the chair and the blue form enhance the dreamlike quality of the composition. This artwork is characteristic of Galanda's interest in exploring the surreal and the subconscious through his art.
