The artwork titled “Trece San Mástiles” by Xul Solar was created in 1949. This symbolic painting falls under the Surrealism art movement, which is known for its dream-like, fantastical imagery and profound symbolism.
In “Trece San Mástiles”, a whimsical yet thought-provoking scene unfolds. The painting is characterized by a series of towering structures resembling ladders or antennas, intricately designed and stretching towards a hazy sky. Various ethereal, human-like figures emerge from or inhabit these structures, each imbued with an otherworldly presence. The composition exudes a mystical aura enhanced by the warm, glowing palette dominated by hues of red, orange, and yellow, contrasted with cooler tones. The surreal landscape created by these elongated forms, symbols, and spectral figures invites viewers into a complex world where reality blends seamlessly with imagination.
