“Proyecto Fachada Delta (#2)” is a cityscape artwork created in 1954 by the artist Xul Solar. The piece is classified under the surrealism art movement. The artwork depicts an imaginative scene featuring whimsical structures elevated on stilts above water.
The prominent buildings in the artwork are designed with geometric patterns in bold, contrasting colors such as green, yellow, and red, giving them a distinctive and architecturally unique appearance. These structures feature angular roofs, numerous windows, and external staircases connecting different levels. The buildings appear to be interconnected by walkways and ladders, suggesting a labyrinthine quality. Flags with symbolic designs are strung between two of the buildings, adding to the surreal and dreamlike atmosphere of the scene. The background hints at a natural setting with trees faintly visible through a mist, contributing to an enigmatic and fantastical environment. The overall composition and intricate details reflect the imaginative and avant-garde spirit characteristic of Xul Solar’s work within the surrealist genre.
