Untitled
c. 1952

Surreal painting by Salvador Dalí featuring disjointed and morphing figures against a blue sky. The central figure has a bearded man's face with a hollowed torso from which a woman emerges. To the left, a figure with binoculars for eyes sits on a contraption with wheels, and to the right, a figure is suspended upside down with feet in the air. The scene is dreamlike and filled with symbolic elements characteristic of Dalí's work.
