Biological Discovery 1944

"Biological Discovery" is a 1944 abstract painting by Jimmy Ernst, a prominent American artist known for his surrealist and abstract works. The painting features a dynamic composition of swirling, biomorphic shapes in vibrant hues of yellow, red, and blue, creating a sense of depth and movement. The interplay of light and dark areas, the suggestion of organic forms, and the overall abstract nature of the piece reflect Ernst's exploration of the subconscious and the mysteries of the natural world. This painting is characteristic of the surrealism movement of the 20th century and can be categorized as abstract expressionism.
