Messaging 1980

Paul Delvaux's "Messaging" (1980) showcases the artist's signature surrealist style, depicting a dreamlike scene of figures in a classical setting. The painting features a group of women dressed in white, evoking an ethereal presence, situated in front of a stark, paved square that stretches towards a distant cityscape. The setting's classical architecture and a lone streetcar hint at a timeless, dreamlike world. Delvaux's work often explores themes of solitude, mystery, and the feminine, and "Messaging" is a prime example of this recurring motif.
