About Yves Tanguy's Art
Yves Tanguy was a self-taught artist, and his early work was heavily influenced by Surrealism. He often used unusual perspective and scale in his paintings, giving them a dreamlike quality. His use of color was often very striking, and he often used bold outlines to create a sense of depth. His use of color was often very limited, with a few colors used in each painting. He also often used a technique called decalcomania, which involved spreading paint onto a canvas and then pressing another object onto it, creating an imprint. This created unique textures and patterns in his paintings.Links
