The artwork titled “Paris Dream” was created by Max Ernst in 1925 in Paris, France. This piece, associated with the Surrealism art movement, is a landscape genre painting. Measuring 65 by 54 centimeters, it is housed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
The artwork presents a dreamlike landscape, characteristic of the Surrealist movement. It features a series of undulating, checkerboard-patterned hills in rich, warm tones of red, orange, and yellow, interspersed with darker hues. The hills appear almost abstract, creating a sense of otherworldliness. Above them, in the sky, there is a concentric circular pattern that emanates light, contributing to the ethereal atmosphere of the piece. The sky further transitions from a deep blue at the top to a lighter, almost ethereal beige and white, enhancing the dreamlike quality. The composition masterfully blends elements of abstraction and surrealism, reflecting Ernst’s innovative and imaginative approach to art.
