“Storm (Black Landscape)” is an oil on canvas artwork created by Yves Tanguy in 1926. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and features dimensions of 80.3 x 65.4 cm. The piece falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork presents an enigmatic, otherworldly landscape, largely dominated by a deep black background. Fleeting, dream-like shapes and figures float ethereally across the canvas, reminiscent of abstract and mystical marine life forms. These figures are rendered in wisps of blue, white, green, and red, creating a striking visual contrast against the dark backdrop. Some elements resemble clouds or smoke, mingling with more defined, though surreal, objects that hint at Tanguy’s fascination with the unconscious and the surreal. The entire composition evokes a sense of a tumultuous storm within an alien, abstract environment, embodying the core principles of Surrealism.
