Les cosmogones (Stage) 

This abstract painting titled "Les cosmogones (Stage)" by Wolfgang Paalen is a powerful example of Surrealism. The artist uses a dynamic composition of swirling, biomorphic forms rendered in a rich palette of golds and blacks. The painting evokes a sense of energy and movement, as if the forms are constantly in flux, reflecting the artist's interest in the cosmic and the subconscious. Paalen's work was influenced by the Surrealist movement and the exploration of the unconscious mind. He incorporated motifs of nature, mythology, and archetypes into his artwork, aiming to create a visual language that transcended the boundaries of rational thought.
