Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: Metropolitan Museum of Art, the USA.

Briefly about the painting:

This surrealist canvas is considered the most famous painting by the artist. The composition offers the viewer some architecture of doom, a dead world, either going under water, or towering above the light, but solid clouds. Strange urban “swinging” structures, which seem to contain twisted human figures, stand in rows. The idea that “tomorrow is never”, expressed in the title, is confirmed by an almost monochrome gamut of color solutions, so that the oil painting seems to be sepia.
