Another exhibition I really enjoyed whilst in Edinburgh was of Surrealist art in the Penrose gallery. The gallery contained works by Dali, Magritte and Picasso, but it was several by Yves Tanguy that really caught my eye. I remembered first finding Tanguy's work whilst researching a project during my GCSE's. Pictured is 'Divisibilite Indefinie' - 1942, this piece really appeals to me because the objects and shapes described are so graphic and sculptural at the same time. There's something about Tanguy's work that I find really intriquing, the way a lot of his works feature these objects within eerie landscapes sets him apart from the other Surrealists and give his work a really distinctive, and very modern feel for me.
