Pierre Roy (1880 – 1950) was an active participant in the surrealist group in Paris in the 1920s and ’30s. With its realistic rendering of ordinary objects placed in a claustrophobic, anonymous setting, The Storm (1928) typifies “the uncanny“ – a feeling often resulting from the encounter of familiar things in illogical arrangements or contexts. The term was popularized in the early 20th century by Sigmund Freud, and became a prime interest of the Surrealists.
