This is a painting called ‘The Ribbon of Extremes’ by Yves Tanguy, I saw this painting in a gallery in Scotland and I love the small detail at the bottom of the painting that breaks up towards the top until you get a smooth sky. The colours, although they are quite dark, really contrast against each other. It was painted in 1932, but it looks like a modern piece of art! Tanguy was a french surrealist painter who was born in Paris. His paintings have a unique, instantly recognizable style of nonrepresentational surrealism. They show vast, abstract landscapes, mostly in a tightly limited pallette of colours. These landscapes usually have abstract shapes just like this one, i love the contrast even though he's only used certain colours.
