The artwork titled “Invention” was created by Man Ray in 1916 using oil on board. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified as a figurative work.
The artwork presents an abstract composition characterized by a blend of geometric and organic shapes. Dominated by shades of blue, yellow, and gray, the piece employs a strong contrast of colors and textures. The use of layered forms and fragmented elements invites viewers to explore the interactions between the shapes, evoking a sense of depth and complexity typical of Surrealist art. The composition is both striking and enigmatic, creating a visual experience that challenges conventional perceptions and invites deeper contemplation.
