The artwork, titled “Still in the Studio,” was created by Dorothea Tanning in 1979. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized within the figurative genre.
In the artwork, a seemingly dream-like scene is depicted with ethereal figures blending into a studio setting. The environment is characterized by dark, moody tones with a heavy emphasis on the interplay of shadows and light. Central to the composition is a fragmented, somewhat ghostly figure, engaged in an activity at a cluttered desk, surrounded by artistic tools and materials. The background reveals a window through which more ghostly figures appear, suggesting a boundary between interior and exterior spaces that is fluid and indistinct. The surreal quality of the piece challenges conventional perceptions of reality, consistent with the characteristics of the Surrealism movement.
