A Sunday Painter Chasing His Dream
A full moon shines brightly in the sky.
A river flows peacefully in the desert.
A gypsy woman, having no worries, falls asleep in the desert.
A lion sniffs at the woman but does not seem to attack her.
What do you think of this painting?
The Sleeping Gypsy is considered a fantastic and mysterious work.
The rich and sharp colors of the painting fascinate us and its stillness makes us feel like we are actually there.
However, if we study the painting carefully, we can see that it does not make sense.
How can the beast not attack its prey?
How come a river is in the desert?
Jean Cocteau, a French poet and film director, said, “Perhaps she’s dreaming of the lion and the river.”
Indeed, it looks like a painting of a woman who is dreaming.
Now you might understand what brings a strange and mysterious atmosphere to this painting.
It is the unfamiliar combination of things that exist in two different worlds, reality and fantasy.
And that is why many people are attracted to this painting.
