“I call Kay Sage a surrealist because her painting resonates with the unsettling paradoxes and hallucinatory qualities prized by André Breton and his group,” her biographer Judith D. Suther wrote. “More fundamentally, I call Sage a surrealist because her allegiance to the surrealist identity lies at the heart of her self-image as an artist.” Sage’s works are architectural, centered around the shadows and folds of various materials and “imbued with an aura of purified form and a sense of motionlessness and impending doom found nowhere else in surrealism,” art historian Whitney Chadwick expressed.
