Acteon 1947

"Acteon" is a 1947 etching by Swiss Surrealist artist Kurt Seligmann (1900-1962). The print features a complex and highly detailed composition of interwoven figures, seemingly dismembered and contorted, evoking a sense of disquiet and the uncanny. Seligmann was known for his fascination with mythology and the grotesque, and "Acteon" exemplifies his exploration of these themes through the use of surrealist imagery. The work's unsettling visual elements create a dreamlike atmosphere and invite the viewer to contemplate the boundaries of reality.
