The Bed
1937

A surreal black and white drawing featuring a bearded man with elongated limbs sitting on a draped bed that blends into a barren landscape. A melting clock hangs from a leafless tree, and distorted furniture and figures are scattered throughout the scene. The artwork is signed and dated in the bottom left corner.
