Surely you’ll find the exact 1940s surrealism you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. There are many Surrealist and Abstract versions of these works for sale. If you’re looking to add a 1940s surrealism to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of beige, white, black, gray and more. A 1940s surrealism from Marguerite Blasingame, Federico Castellon, Enrico Donati and André Masson — each of whom created distinctive versions of this kind of work — is worth considering.

A large 1940s surrealism can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 6 high and 4 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.
