“Lago Monti” is an artwork created by Xul Solar in the year 1921. It falls within the Expressionism art movement and is classified under the landscape genre. The artwork depicts a dramatic and fantastical mountainous landscape.
The artwork presents a surreal mountain scene with towering, rugged peaks that rise dramatically on either side of a narrow, serene body of water. The mountains display bold, undulating lines and vivid colors, ranging from deep greens to icy purples. Small, irregularly placed dwellings are embedded within the cliffs, adding a touch of human presence to the otherwise stark natural setting. The sky above is tinted with hues of yellow and features two celestial bodies, possibly representing suns or planets, evoking a sense of otherworldly mystique. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the abstract, exaggerated forms, embody the emotive and imaginative qualities characteristic of Expressionism.
