Item Details
Description
Yves Tanguy "Portrait Of Venus" oil on paper circa. 1940, private collection approx. 11x16in. Yves Tanguy was in many respects the quintessential Surrealist. A sociable eccentric who ate spiders as a party trick, and a close friend of Andre Breton, Tanguy was best-known for his misshapen rocks and molten surfaces that lent definition to the Surrealist aesthetic. Self-taught but enormously skilled, Tanguy painted a hyper-real world with exacting precision. His landscapes, a high-octane blend of fact and fiction, captured the attention of important artists and thinkers from Salvador Dal to Mark Rothko who admitted their debt to the older artist. And even Carl Gustave Jung used a canvas by Tanguy to illustrate his theory of the collective unconscious.
