More about this artwork

Welcome to the intriguing world of "Dream" (1936-1937), a compelling ink drawing by the Slovak artist Cyprián Majerník. In this unique piece, Majerník delves deeply into the surreal and often disconcerting nature of dreams, capturing a scene that is both wild and mysteriously symbolic.The composition vividly depicts two figures in what appears to be a deep slumber, surrounded by a mythical panorama that blurs the lines between the animate and inanimate, the grotesque and the ordinary. A prominent rooster and a sphinx-like creature stand over the figures, adding a sense of ominous foreboding and mysticism to the scene.The rooster, often a symbol of awakening and the heralding of the new day, contrasts starkly against the eerie, dream-like quality suggested by the sphinx's mythical presence. This amalgamation of symbols challenges the viewer to contemplate the meanings of vulnerability, subconscious fears, and the universal experience of dreaming.Through a dramatic play of dark and intricate ink lines, Majerník creates a textured and dynamic space, making "Dream" not just a visual experience, but a portal into the depths of human psyche and emotion.
