Hide-and-Seek (painting)

Hide-and-Seek is a 1942 oil on canvas painting in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, by Russian painter Pavel Tchelitchew.

Tchelitchew was given a retrospective of his work at MoMA in 1942.

[1][2] Hide and Seek was completed by Tchelitchew in 1942, but he had been working on variations on its imagery since about 1934.

[1] A phenomenon seen in Hide and Seek is that of the "simultaneous image", in which a degree of ambiguity exists between various components of the composition.

Related phenomena are seen in the work of other artists, for instance Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
