The Rapidity of Sleep

1945

Yves Tanguy's 'The Rapidity of Sleep' ('La Rapidité des sommeils', 1945) is a classic Surrealist landscape by the French-American painter — ambiguous biomorphic forms cast long shadows across a smoothly modelled, empty plain that is half ocean floor, half dream. Oil on canvas, Art Institute of Chicago.
