"lice's hands and hair have

unanswerable logic of the

eternal child.

Saint +eorge

and the Dragon


22/35

Dali once e!plained this figure as a

4reudian outgrowth of the natural curiosity

of children to investigate enclosed spaces,

both in order to satisfy the desire to knowwhat these spaces contain, and to e!orcise

the fear that what is unknown may be

harmful.

Dali portrays many of the drawers to be

slightly a$ar, indicating that their secrets are

known and no longer to be feared. Two

crutches rise from the figure, symboli)ing a

blend of authority, stability and se!ualpower.

Snail and the "ngel


25/35

Dali was fascinated by the natural

geometry of snail shells, and like the egg,

the duality of its soft interior with its hard

e!terior. 2arado!ically then, the snail, theuniversal symbol of the idle passing of

time, has been given wings and is riding

moving waves.

This image of this elegant sculpture was

originally designed as part of the Dal6's

famous Tarot series, which was created

specifically for his wife and muse, +ala.

The figure of 1 omme au 2apillon 1 leavesthe banality of the everyday world for that of

the butterfly, which, being lighter, will give

the man wings and help him soar to a

different physical plane - one where he can

shed daily worries and habitual restraint.


27/35

Triumphant "ngel

"ngels are an e!pression of Dal6's world

of dreams and fantasy.7n this beautiful sculpture, the angel

trumpets his divine music, wings spread,

head thrown back, sending his $ubilant

message to all who will listen.


28/35

omage to

Terpsichore

The muse of music, Terpsichore.Dali created a soft, carnal muse against a

hardened, statues(ue one.

The smooth and classical dancer is

representative of inner harmony, while the

cubist figure from which we see branches

sprouting, represents the ever-growing and

chaotic rhythm of modern life.

8ady +odiva 9 was an th-century "nglo-Sa!on noblewoman

who, according to a legend , rode

naked through the streets of

:oventry in order to gain a

remission of the oppressive ta!ation

imposed by her husband on his

tenants.

Dali pays homage to her sensuous

and shapely female form.

"nnouncing her arrival, butterflies

not only hover around her and her

noble steed, but also adorn her body

as she plays her trumpet.
