The Awakening Of The Forest (L'éveil de la forêt) • 1939.

Paul Delvaux • 1897-1994 • Belgian • Surrealist

Post #1

Paul Delvaux's canvases contain, among other things, a plethora of female nudes. Like classic nudes, they and their surroundings are painted with precise realism. Unlike classic nudes, however, the women are not posing as such but going about their business within fantasy-filled worlds. They stare vacantly toward the unknown and largely do not engage with one-another. It is as if they are captured in a moment in time. If one were to imagine, though, a Delvaux painting coming to life, these women might very well be engaged in robotic, ritualistic movement - the Stepford wives of a surreal canvas. At times disconcerting, the canvas sometimes include fully-dressed,voiristic men. Enigmatic as they are, Delvaux's women hold a beautiful, enigmatic appeal.

Delvaux's inspiration for his visual imagery came from books he loved as a child. Indeed, the painting above is a recreation of a scene from Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. He also utilized his childhood fears and dreamscapes as creative material for his visual narratives.

Though not depicted in this post (perhaps next post) skeletons, trains and train stations, and architecture are common themes in Delvaux paintings.

La pause du jour (The Break of Day) • 1937 • The Guggenheim Museum. [This was the first Surrealist painting Peggy Guggenheim added to her collection.]

Below: Femme dans une grotte (Woman in a cave) • 1936 • Oil on canvas • Thyssen Bornemisza Museum, Madrid

La Sirène au claire de lune (A Mermaid in Full Moonlight) • 1940 • Southampton City Art Gallery, Britain. [ As a boy, Delvaux loved the story of the Sirens in The Odyssey.]
