Description:

This painting, one of Óscar Domínguez’s most iconic, belonged to the poet Pedro García Cabrera, cofounder of the magazine Gaceta de Arte. It forms part of a group of compositions in which the artist nostalgically evoked his homeland, the Canary Islands. In Guanche Cave, Domínguez seems to be taking an orthodox approach to the application of Surrealist principles, organizing the composition into two clearly demarcated horizontal bands. In the upper part, which corresponds to the rational world, an angler (possibly a self-portrait) holds a fishing rod with his back to the viewer. The lower part of the canvas is filled by deformed, metamorphic creatures representing visions from the subconscious. (Source: Museo Reina Sofia [website]; https://www.museorei nasofia.es/en/)
