The artwork “DESNUDO SURREALISTA” was created by Maruja Mallo in 1927. This piece is part of the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork features a central figure, a headless and armless female nude, which is rendered with precise, almost mechanical curves and lines. The figure stands against a backdrop of abstract shapes and patterns, including circular and organic forms. The composition is marked by a juxtaposition of geometric precision and fluid form, capturing the essence of surrealist exploration where reality blends seamlessly with the dreamlike and fantastical. The contrast between light and shadow, as well as the use of shading techniques, adds depth and dimension to the figure, evoking a sense of movement and surreal ambiguity. The overall atmosphere of the artwork is one of enigmatic allure and otherworldly presence.
