“Lovers’ White Dreamtime,” created in 1973 by the surrealist artist Desmond Morris, is a figurative artwork that exemplifies the characteristics of the surrealism art movement.
The artwork depicts an abstract and dreamlike scene, featuring two amorphous, white figures that appear to be reclining or resting on a vibrant orange and striped surface. These figures are surrounded by a variety of organic and whimsical shapes that contribute to the surreal and otherworldly atmosphere of the composition. The background of the artwork is defined by a dark, minimalist space, while the upper portion reveals an array of small, pink forms, possibly representing mushrooms or fungi, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. The vibrant colors and imaginative forms create a visually intriguing and thought-provoking piece, inviting viewers to delve into the realm of imagination and subconscious.
