The artwork, created by Yves Tanguy in 1926, is entitled “I Came Like I Promised”. It measures 100 x 73 cm and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. The genre of the artwork is classified as a landscape.
“I Came Like I Promised” exhibits a dreamlike surrealist landscape dominated by a desolate and enigmatic environment. The composition features a series of abstract and fantastical elements against a backdrop of subdued, almost ethereal colors. A prominent dark structure rises amid swirling smoke, its texture contrasting sharply with the softer, misty surroundings. Among these mysterious formations, a figure is faintly visible in the distance, enhancing the aura of intrigue and otherworldliness that envelops the scene. The artwork’s overall effect is one of profound alienation and curiosity, characteristic of Tanguy’s surrealist vision.
