Tomorrow

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The State Museum of Art (Zurich, Switzerland).

After a trip to North Africa, which the artist made in the 1930s, objects like stones or bones began to appear in his paintings. In the work “Tomorrow”, they are located on the background of a bluish-yellow ghostly landscape that goes to infinity. These objects evoke a double feeling, being soft and hard, real and abstract, moving and frozen in time. The images are immersed in a silver-pearl light, which seems to belong to a completely different world. Thin and barely noticeable lines characteristic of many of Tanguy’s works indicate a specific relationship between individual objects.
