THE FOURTEEN DAGGERS (1942) by KAY SAGE
KAY SAGE, an AMERICAN surrealist painter of the early 20th century, created this oil on canvas composition, entitled THE FOURTEEN DAGGERS. SAGE’S work was highly acclaimed by critics, yet it did not receive the same level of public recognition as many of her peers' works.
Even to this day, SAGE is not widely known to the general public. I appreciate SAGE'S work for its realism in its depiction of ideas that are ultimately not realistic. Additionally, I find it intriguing that SAGE herself has never publicly elucidated the significance of her works.
I am captivated by this painting due to its depth and ambiguity. The two individuals depicted in the painting are entirely obscured by their cloaks, which raises the question of what would have happened if the scene had continued.
The hidden nature of the figures, as well as the numerous wrinkles in their garments, raises the question of whether they are human beings or an alien life form, or even if they are living beings.
The mysterious nature of the painting is further enhanced by the seemingly infinite horizon in the background. The entire scene appears to be situated in a barren landscape, which further adds to the ambiguity of the painting.
