“The Bottom of the Sea” is an artwork created by André Masson in 1937, realized within the scope of the Surrealism art movement. This piece belongs to the genre of still life.
The artwork presents a dreamlike underwater scene rendered in mixed media. Dominating the composition is a fluid, biomorphic form evocative of aquatic life, depicted in muted, natural tones. The texture of the underwater environment is richly varied, conveying depth and a sense of mystery. Characteristic of Surrealism, the piece appears to blend reality with the subconscious, offering an otherworldly exploration of life beneath the sea. The artwork’s focus on organic forms and meticulous detail combined with a surreal quality creates a compelling and evocative visual narrative.
