Suckling Pigs 1963

"Suckling Pigs" (1963) is an oil painting by the British artist Ivan Eyre, known for his darkly humorous and often unsettling imagery. The painting depicts a group of figures, some lying down, others sitting, spread across a landscape. A strange, pale sun hangs in the sky, and a flagpole with a tattered flag stands in the foreground. The scene evokes a sense of unease and disquiet, with the figures seemingly lost in their own thoughts or caught in moments of despair. The presence of the pigs and the other details adds to the surreal and dreamlike atmosphere.
