"The Satin Tuning Fork" (French: "La Fourchette de satin") is a notable painting by the French surrealist artist Yves Tanguy, created in 1940. This work is emblematic of Tanguy's distinctive style, which is characterized by its dream-like landscapes filled with abstract and biomorphic forms that seem to defy the laws of physics and conventional reality. The painting's title suggests a musical instrument, the tuning fork, which is typically associated with precision and harmony, juxtaposed with the luxurious texture of satin, creating a contrast that is both tactile and auditory in the viewer's imagination.

In "The Satin Tuning Fork," Tanguy presents a vast, open landscape under a cloud-filled sky, populated with a variety of enigmatic shapes and figures that appear to float or stand in an ambiguous relationship to the space around them. The palette is subtle, with a range of muted tones that contribute to the painting's otherworldly atmosphere. The forms within the composition, while not representing any recognizable objects, evoke a sense of organic growth and transformation, as if they are entities from a subconscious realm or an alien world.

Tanguy's work during this period reflects his interest in the unconscious mind and the automatic drawing techniques promoted by the Surrealists, who sought to express the workings of the subconscious through art. "The Satin Tuning Fork" is no exception, as it invites viewers to interpret the scene through the lens of their own experiences and emotions, rather than through any prescribed narrative.

The painting is significant within Tanguy's oeuvre and Surrealist art as a whole, as it exemplifies the movement's exploration of the uncanny and the use of visual art to probe the mysteries of the human psyche. As with many of Tanguy's paintings, "The Satin Tuning Fork" has been the subject of various interpretations, and it continues to be studied for its technique, composition, and enigmatic content. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited in various galleries and retrospectives dedicated to Surrealist art.
