Description:

Sage depicted a large, two-pronged structure resembling drapery, which rises straight up into the air from a ramp or dock that recedes into the distance at right and is punctuated by geometric and curvilinear forms. The striking canvas suggests the mystifying environs of a dreamscape, reflecting Sage's fascination with the unconscious. In the mid-193os, the artist lived in Paris and worked alongside French Surrealists, including Yves Tanguy, whom she married in 1940 after moving to New York at the outbreak of World War II. Painted in 1944, In the Third Sleep attests to her continued investigation of the otherworldly.

Yes, and be in a space that hasn't had other humans for maybe years. There are a lot more people in the world right now.

We had to watch The Swimmer as part of a school assignment. It's got the negative aspects of this down. I would call it a horror movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Swimmer_(1968_film)

In like to go for a walk. I happen to live in a rapidly emptying part of rural Finland. Here we have freedom to roam so all the forests are open to explore. I've been in places nobody else has seen in decades. I love it.

You're very lucky. That's the best way to experience this solitude.
