About the Item

Extinction, Stylised Surrealist Oil Painting French School, 20th century Oil painting on canvas, unframed Canvas size: 19.5 x 24 inches Quite an exceptional and unusual Surrealist oil painting. This prehistoric themed oil painting portrays a dinosaur or reptile of some sort, overlooking the land it is about to reach. Is there something Godzilla esq about the idea behind this painting? A creature thought to be instinct rising from the deep, about to create havoc on land? The interpretation is in the hands of the beholder. This is one of two surrealist paintings by this artist that we have listed today. The work is of French authorship and dates to the 1970's. Condition report: The painting and canvas are in very good condition.

    Located in Miami, FL
    A Fiery Hell is depicted as a volcano that spews flames and lava dust into the air. According to the Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw Family Archive, this work was shown to Stanly Kubrick for a Paradise Lost, movie concept. Peter had created matte paintings for Kubrick's Spartacus in 1960 and they continued their professional friendship for years to come. Peter did some collaboration with TRON in 1982. Unfortunately, the movie concept for John Miltons, Paradise Lost, was not brought into production. An erupting volcano is also an powerful metaphor for many human conditions.
