is a 1927 oil-on-canvas painting by French surrealist painter Yves Tanguy.

[2] The title of the painting comes from a psychiatric case history, which Tanguy used to title other works as well.

[3] From Sketchline: According to Nathalia Brodskaïa, Mama, Papa is Wounded!

Brodskaïa writes that the painting reflects his debt to Giorgio de Chirico – falling shadows and a classical torso – and conjures up a sense of doom: the horizon, the emptiness of the plain, the solitary plant, the smoke, the helplessness of the small figures.

Tanguy said that it was an image he saw entirely in his imagination before starting to paint it.
