The Dark Garden
Pictures by Yves Tanguy
Yves Tanguy's The Dark Garden, painted in 1928, sets soft, strange shapes along a quiet, endless shore under a hazy dusk sky. Tanguy painted his silent dream landscapes from memory and imagination rather than from life, and many find a deep stillness in them. For someone who loves art and quiet places of the mind.
