Painting Collection Yves Tanguy The Silken Glance The Silken Glance 1940 oil on canvas 18 x 15 inches The Silken Glance is one of Tanguy's most characteristic later works, painted in a scrupulous technique reminiscent of that of Dalí. The imagery is highly distinctive, featuring amorphous nameless objects proliferating in a spectral dream. It is a painting of strange, fantastic bones and amoeba-like shapes, arranged in flat, lifeless, and imaginary landscape. The images in The Silken Glance can be characterized as biomorphic, elements, which hint at or suggest living organisms but are not actually found in nature. |
