Remedios Varos Reflejo Lunar

Reflejo Lunar
Oil on Masonite
1961

       Varo turns to the theme of the moon, stars, and the mystery of the universe. Here the moon is transformed into a geometric shape suggesting energy and motion. The small naked figure is perhaps Varo as a child showing her awe of science and nature. Varo was greatly influenced by her scientific father and their travels together. Her early experience probably gave her a place of refuge for her imagination to travel to for the rest of her life. In this painting Varo compares the mystery of science to the mystery of the woods at night, with its beautiful illuminations in the sky and on a lake.
