The artwork, titled “Derwisz,” was created in 1960 by artist Alina Szapocznikow. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized under the sculpture genre.
The sculpture showcases an abstract, organic form, characterized by an intricate and somewhat contorted composition. It appears to be a semi-figurative representation with irregular shapes and textures, reflecting perhaps a combination of human and otherworldly elements typical in Surrealism. The work is supported by slender, vertical rods giving it an elevated and dynamic posture. The overall aesthetic is evocative, inviting contemplation and interpretation, staying true to the enigmatic nature of Surrealist art.
