Artist
Óscar Domínguez
Painting
A Spanish-French artist prominent in the Surrealist milieu of the early twentieth century, Óscar Domínguez created uncanny, dream-like distortions of reality with precise technique across his body of work. His audacious images imbue everyday objects with symbolic power—pianos, can openers, typewriters, butterflies—to evoke both the supernatural and Surrealist theories about unconscious desire.
