The Shooting Gallery VI 1940

"The Shooting Gallery VI" is a 1940 ink drawing by Czech Surrealist artist Toyen. The work features a fragmented, mirrored screen, a mounted cat head, and numerous small birds scattered across a seemingly flat, textured ground. The scene is unsettling, with a strong sense of disorientation and a touch of dark humor, characteristic of Toyen's Surrealist style. This work exemplifies Toyen's exploration of the absurd and the macabre, reflecting a challenging and disturbing side of human existence.
