The artwork titled “Ladies run, there is a man in the rose garden” was created by Leonora Carrington in 1948. This piece, a landscape rendered in oil, measures 44.2 x 91.2 cm and belongs to the Surrealism art movement.
In the artwork, a fantastical and enigmatic scene unfolds with a dreamlike quality characteristic of Surrealism. The hues evoke a mystical atmosphere as various abstract and semi-recognizable forms intermingle across the canvas. The landscape appears to be caught in a twilight haze, blending elements of the natural world with fantastical imagery. Figures emerge from the composition, merging seamlessly with their surroundings, imbuing the work with an otherworldly narrative. Visual motifs such as oddly shaped trees, ethereal beings, and geometric constructions contribute to the sense of the surreal, encouraging viewers to explore the depths of imagination and subconscious.
