The Dream-Like Sorcery of Paul Delvaux

Playing in 0:05:

The mysterious paintings of Paul Delvaux are regarded as some of the most alluring examples of the Surrealist genre, although the artist’s approach was arguably more subtle in its representation of the uncanny than that of his contemporaries. In this video, Scott Niichel explores this unique style through Delvaux’s painting L’imperatrice, offered as a highlight of the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale in New York.
