Description

The painting "Palacio del Promontorio" (1931) by Yves Tanguy is a fascinating representation of the characteristics of surrealism, a style with which the artist Belicó throughout his career. Tanguy, known for its important contribution to the surreal movement, creates in this work a dream landscape that evokes a sense of the unknown, in which natural and artificial elements are amalgamated to forge an atmosphere of mystery.

When observing "Palacio del Promontorio", we find a very wide horizon that extends to the bottom, where a translucent blue sky advances towards a sea of ​​greenish tones. This transition from blue to green is carried out with subtlety, suggesting a space that goes beyond the tangible surface, urging the viewer to contemplate what is hidden in the imaginary level. The central elements of the work, which seem to emerge from the landscape, resemble sculptures or architectural structures. They are composed of biomorphic forms and modules that remind both nature and fantastic constructions. This is characteristic of Tanguy, who in many of his paintings It uses forms that challenge logic, creating an environment that is familiar but at the same time strange.

The use of color in this work is remarkable. Tanguy uses a palette marked by earthly tones and soft nuances, combining the use of subtle shadows and diffuse lights to create an atmospheric effect on painting. The color schemes they use seem to invite the viewer to get lost in the visual labyrinths that it proposes, where every corner and each form contain a narrative potential, although they do not provide the work of a clear and defined story. The light that emanates from forms seems to have its own existence, acting as a guide that indicates the importance of the landscape as a character in itself.

In "Palacio del Promontorio" human figures are not perceived. This is usual in Tanguy's work, who often opted for the void of human presence to evoke a sense of loneliness and reflection. The landscape forms, in their apparent isolation, seem to talk about a world in which human consciousness has been relegated to the background, placing the focus on the immanence of nature and its abstract equivalents.

This aspect of the work affects the approach of surrealism, which does not necessarily seek to portray reality as we know it, but try to explore the subconscious and dreams. Surrealist works, and specifically those of Tanguy, focus on the creation of alternative realities where the absurd and sublime coexist. "Palacio del Promontorio" can be seen as a shelter for imagination, where each surface and every color arouses curiosity and contemplation.

Yves Tanguy, inspired by the landscapes of his childhood in Brittany and his fascination with the concepts of time and perception, achieves in this work transcend the merely visual scope. The work thus becomes a dialogue between the spectator and the limits of reality, an encounter with the inexplicable that resides within us. In a world increasing amazing within each of us.
