The artwork entitled “White Dunes, Oceano” was created by Edward Weston in 1936. This piece is associated with the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of photography.
The artwork presents a striking monochromatic photograph of a dune landscape. It captures the intricate play of light and shadow on the sand surfaces, emphasizing the varied textures and patterns formed by the wind. The meticulously composed lines and contours of the dunes evoke a sense of infinite tranquility and abstract beauty, characteristic of Weston’s ability to transform natural elements into profound visual poetry. The undulating forms and the delicate gradations of tone convey a surreal and almost otherworldly atmosphere.
