Briefly about the painting:

The artist used geometric shapes and a sad brown, ocher and black gamma for this philosophical surrealistic work. Time, according to the author, has a vector of movement forward, but goes deep into non-being. Behind a few empty squares (as those were frames of pictures), steps leading down can be seen; an alarming red eye flickers in the depths. Kay Sage’s pessimism is explained by her bereavement – in 1955, her adorable husband, surrealist painter Yves Tanguy, with whom she lived for 15 years, died.
