The artwork, titled “Touristes de Prague III (Tourists of Prague III)”, was created by Dorothea Tanning in 1961. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified within the figurative genre.
“Touristes de Prague III” embodies the ethereal and dreamlike qualities characteristic of Surrealism. The composition features a blend of soft, ephemeral forms and a subdued color palette dominated by shades of purple, blue, and hints of warm tones such as orange and red. The abstract nature of the forms creates a sense of fluidity and movement, drawing the viewer into a mysterious, almost otherworldly scene. The elements within the artwork appear to merge and dissolve into each other, evoking the feeling of a transient and fantastical vision, typical of Tanning’s sophisticated surrealist style.
