Óscar Domínguez

Óscar Domínguez was a Spanish Surrealist painter and sculptor. He was born in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, and later moved to Paris, where he became part of the Surrealist movement.

Domínguez's art was characterized by its dreamlike and surreal imagery, often featuring fantastic landscapes, strange creatures, and distorted human figures. He worked in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage, and was known for his use of automatic drawing and other Surrealist techniques.

In addition to his art, Domínguez was also involved in politics, and was a member of the French Communist Party. He fought in the Spanish Civil War as a member of the Republican Army, and later lived in exile in Paris.

Domínguez's work was exhibited widely during his lifetime, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Tate Gallery in London.

Today, Domínguez is considered one of the leading figures of the Surrealist movement, and his work continues to inspire artists around the world.
