The Angry Planet 1940

"The Angry Planet," a 1940 lithograph by James Miekle Guy, depicts a fantastical scene against a dark, starry background. A mysterious figure rides a blazing sun, with a large, black profile head looming on the right. The artist's bold lines and vibrant colors, a hallmark of Guy's style, create a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere. This work, a unique blend of figuration and abstraction, explores the power of the imagination and the vastness of the universe, inviting the viewer to contemplate the mysteries of the cosmos.
