“Entry to a Landscape” is an artwork created by Desmond Morris in 1947. The piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified as an abstract genre.
The artwork depicts a narrow vertical scene, seemingly a crevice, with dark, earthy tones forming most of the composition. Vivid, organic shapes in bright green extend through this crevice, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center where a lighter background reveals a contrasting sky-blue hue, suggesting a landscape receding beyond. These biomorphic forms, abstract in nature, almost appear like exotic, otherworldly flora stretching towards the light. Additional thin red lines weave through the darker spaces, adding subtle complexity and intrigue. The surreal combination of colors and forms conjures an otherworldly atmosphere, aligning with the principles of Surrealism.
