Beschreibung
A 1943 Surrealist oil painting by Yves Tanguy, featuring biomorphic forms in a vast, desolate space.
Painted in 1943, Through Birds Through Fire But Not Through Glass is a characteristic example of the work of Yves Tanguy. The composition features the artist's signature biomorphic forms, which appear to inhabit an infinite, desolate plain. These objects, rendered with a smooth, precise technique, defy conventional classification. They possess a sculptural quality, casting long, sharp shadows that suggest a low, raking light source. The horizon line is barely perceptible, creating a sense of vast, indeterminate space that is common in Tanguy's output.
Tanguy, a self-taught painter, became a member of the Surrealist group in Paris during the mid-1920s. His approach to painting involved a meticulous application of paint to create dreamlike, alien environments. Unlike many of his contemporaries who relied on collage or automatic drawing, Tanguy utilised a traditional academic finish to depict impossible, non-representational subjects. This contrast between the realistic rendering of light and shadow and the illogical nature of the forms creates a specific tension within the work.
The title, poetic and enigmatic, aligns with the Surrealist interest in language as a tool for subverting rational thought. The objects in the foreground appear to be constructed from a mixture of organic and mechanical components, draped in fabric-like textures that catch the light. The palette is dominated by muted greens, ochres, and cool whites, which contribute to the atmospheric, otherworldly quality of the scene. By removing the subject matter from any recognisable context, Tanguy invites the viewer to engage with the image as a purely visual experience, free from the constraints of narrative or symbolic interpretation.

Artist Biography
Yves Tanguy
He was born in Paris in 1900. He briefly joined the merchant navy in 1918 before being drafted into the army, where he met the poet Jacques Prevert, who later introduced him to Andre Breton's Surrealist circle. He joined the Surrealists in 1925 and had his first solo show just two years later, having taught himself everything.
His paintings consistently depict flat, featureless landscapes resembling sea floors or alien terrain, populated by biomorphic forms that look like melted rocks or bones. He never explained them. The palette is muted, the horizons infinite, the atmosphere airless. The same vocabulary of forms appears across decades of work with only gradual variation.
He married the American Surrealist painter Kay Sage in Reno, Nevada, in 1940. They settled in Woodbury, Connecticut, converting an old farmhouse into a studio. He died there in 1955, aged fifty-five.
