Tunnel of Love | Henry Koerner | 1947

Henry Koerner’s Tunnel of Love (1947) is a surreal and unsettling painting that blends the whimsy of a carnival with haunting imagery. Dominated by a wide-eyed, puppet-like central figure with a knife, the piece is filled with eerie characters and distorted perspectives. Ghostly, translucent women surround the central figure, while ominous elements like a decapitated head, a crying child, and monstrous creatures lurk throughout the composition. The painting evokes themes of innocence lost, fear, and the grotesque hidden beneath surface amusements, reflecting the psychological scars of post-war trauma.
