Salvador Dalí
(1904 - 1989)
*Dream caused by the flight of a bee - 1944*
The full title "One second before awakening from a dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate" illustrates how Dalí moved through a Dream of the gala that she had told him was inspiring. He saw the dream as an example of Freud's theory that dreams can be caused by external triggers. The sleeping Gala floats and feels the threat of a bee sting, symbolized by the rifle with bayonet. The pomegranate that the bee was likely attracted to is clearly visible in the foreground, and another enormous version can also be seen again to the left of the painting. It seems to serve as a source for the huge fish, from whose mouth a growling tiger jumps out. In the background is an elephant with long, thin paws that defies the laws of gravity, a theme that often appears in Dalí's work.
This figure is a very successful replica from the museum collection, created by the artists of the Parastone Ateliers.
Dalí sublimated his life in his painting. Relying on great professional skills, accumulated through the execution of various experiments in the field of painting, he took surrealism to unique heights in an inimitable, idiosyncratic way. Basically, he photographed associatively what was happening inside his head: inspired by the new knowledge in psychology at the time, he tried to capture his subconscious in images and to depict his dreams in all their impenetrable symbolism. For this purpose he developed his famous paranoid-critical method. For us, as one-dimensional mortals, only the paintings and other forms of artistic expression remain as fascinating witnesses to an incredibly intense and busy life. Perhaps their appeal lies not only in the fact that they allow us a look into Dalí's subconscious, but also in the fact that they are a mirror of our own souls.
