Who was the artist Yves Tanguy?
Yves Tanguy (1900–1955) was a self-taught French Surrealist painter known for his non-representational, dreamlike landscapes. His work often explores the subconscious through abstract, fluid forms set against infinite, desolate horizons.
What are 'biomorphic forms' in Surrealist art?
Biomorphic forms are shapes that evoke living organisms or biological processes without depicting specific creatures. In Tanguy's work, these shapes feel both alien and organic, representing the fluid nature of dreams and the human psyche.
