Dream, 1905

In Dream (1905), Joan Brull Vinyoles uses soft, muted tones and fine brushstrokes to create a dreamlike atmosphere, where the boundary between reality and imagination seems to dissolve. The sitting woman gazes into the distance, but what she sees is unknown to us. She doesn't seem to notice the dancing figures—they could even be part of her imagination. This might just be one among millions of forests on our planet, anonymous forests that anyone can make their own. But this is her place, where she sits and dreams.
