Federico Castellón

Untitled
1965

This image is a two-panel artwork. On the left panel, a figure with a bare chest and a black skirt stands with one hand on their heart, surrounded by floating disembodied faces with various expressions. On the right panel, two figures embrace, one cradling the other's head, against a dark background with a yellow, ghost-like figure floating above them, holding a knife. The artwork has a dreamlike, surreal quality, and there are signatures and inscriptions at the bottom of each panel.
