The artwork, titled “Fountain (small Version)” by Graham Sutherland, was created in 1965 and is associated with the Surrealism art movement. This piece falls under the figurative genre.
The artwork depicts a surreal interpretation of a fountain, rendered in vivid green and blue hues. Central to the composition is a stylized spout, from which water flows, captured in a minimalist yet evocative manner. The background is adorned with abstract leaf-like patterns, creating a striking contrast with the geometric and somewhat mechanical elements of the fountain. Sutherland’s use of bold colors and simplified forms gives the artwork a dream-like quality, characteristic of the Surrealist movement, compelling viewers to immerse themselves in a realm where the natural and the unnatural seamlessly converge.
