Remedios Varo

This gorgeous image was painted in 1955 by the Spanish-Mexican artist Remedios Varo (1908-1963). Surrealist art such as this uses strange and counter-rational imagery to project truths that transcend our everyday mind. Once you adjust your (mind's) eyes, the painting makes immediate sense. After all, isn't Apollo the god of light and the lyre? And isn't music, like the sun's rays, a renewable resource?
