The artwork titled “Table for Two,” created by Desmond Morris in 1972, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified under the figurative genre.
In the artwork, an abstract form dominates the composition, with the figure’s fluid, organic shapes suggesting a dynamic, otherworldly presence. The central figure, resting upon a table, is characterized by smooth curves and subtle gradations of light, creating a surreal ambiance. The background is rendered in earthy tones, providing a stark contrast to the almost luminous quality of the figure itself. The positioning of the form on the table suggests a contemplative or intimate scene, aligning with the enigmatic and dreamlike qualities typical of Surrealist works. The use of soft hues and meticulous detailing imbues the piece with an ethereal quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the artist’s imaginative vision.
