The artwork titled “Un Yogu,” created by the artist Xul Solar in the year 1932, falls within the cityscape genre.
The artwork presents an abstract yet striking scene filled with vibrant colors and geometric forms. At the center, a humanoid figure in a meditative yoga pose is depicted, adorned with brightly colored ribbons on its head. Surrounding this figure are numerous rectangular shapes in various colors, representing buildings in a cityscape. The background is dominated by a large crescent moon and a setting or rising sun, adding a surreal and dreamlike quality to the scene. Luminous paths and floating faces within the composition contribute to the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the artwork. The juxtaposition of abstract elements with mystical figures reflects the distinctive style and vision of Xul Solar.
