Act III: The Final Judgment: And had a vision of sweeter years Possibly 1980 - 1981

Arthur Tress's "Act III: The Final Judgment: And had a vision of sweeter years," is a surrealist photograph from the early 1980s. The image features a cage with a fan inside, surrounded by a theatrical backdrop reminiscent of an opera stage. This work is a masterful example of Tress's signature style of using found objects and theatrical elements to create unsettling and dreamlike scenes that explore themes of confinement, performance, and the fragility of human existence.
