It’s not impossible to render Lo Pinto’s scene in everyday terms: moored in a marina are several boats, two of them accessed by floating docks upon which a group of children are passing time dreamily. To describe it in such terms, however, would ignore the painting’s many surreal, even mystical elements. Why are some boats in full sail? Why do chains of rowboats—one in the foreground and four more in the distance—create angles in relation to the gangways? Do the colors here have any existence in the waking world?
