{"product_id":"allegory-of-winter-1948-by-remedios-varo","title":"Allegory of Winter by Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eLook closely and the frost begins to tell a story. A small songbird, a golden pheasant-like bird, a spray of pink wildflowers and a pale sprig of leaves each rest inside a translucent, faceted capsule, suspended on fine white threads between thorn-crowned trees. Below, the ground breaks into a honeycomb of dark cells, and snowflake patterns glint in the shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis art print reproduces \u003cem\u003eAllegory of Winter\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAlegoría del invierno\u003c\/em\u003e), painted in 1948 by Remedios Varo, the Spanish-born Surrealist who settled in Mexico in the early 1940s. The original is a gouache on paper in the collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Winter That Preserves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaro does not paint winter as an empty, dead landscape. Instead, the season becomes a quiet archive in which life is held in suspension, waiting for its moment to return. The Reina Sofía links the work to a constant in her art: the representation of living beings and nature, and the passing of time, which for Varo imposed a kind of order, rhythm and harmony on the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spiked trees feel both protective and forbidding, while the web of threads ties every bird, flower and crystal into one delicate system. It is easy to read the scene as a meditation on dormancy and renewal, though Varo leaves its meaning open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiving With the Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoky mauve, earthy brown and frosted white give the composition a hushed, silvery atmosphere. It rewards slow looking, which makes it a natural fit for a bedroom, a reading corner or a calm living room wall where new details reveal themselves over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: the original composition is nearly square; this edition is presented in a vertical format.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose
