About The Artist
Kurt Seligmann (1900–1962) was a Swiss-American Surrealist painter and printmaker. Born in Basel, Switzerland, Seligmann's art fused elements of mysticism, alchemy, and the occult, reflecting his interest in esoteric subjects. He was associated with the Surrealist movement in the 1930s, participating in exhibitions alongside artists like André Breton and Max Ernst. Seligmann's work often featured fantastical imagery and symbolic motifs, exploring themes of mythology and the subconscious. His intricate and haunting compositions, such as "The Last Judgment" (1943), exemplify his unique style and Surrealist sensibility. Beyond painting, Seligmann also delved into sculpture and book illustration. His contributions to Surrealism and his exploration of the fantastical and the macabre continue to be celebrated in the context of 20th-century avant-garde
