Atavistic ruins after the rain by Salvador Dali

Atavistic ruins after the rain by Salvador Dali

This is the scene following the one depicted in the ‘Architectonic Angelus Mille’, where human figures acquired the appearance of certain menhirs or statues. Generally speaking, they are very similar to the sculptures of Dali’s contemporaries – Hans Arp and Henry Moore, however the artist depicts them as ancient rocks.

From the texts of Dali it is known that the “remains” in his paintings are the result not only of erosion, but also of a sexual encounter.

The ‘female’ stone, which now became the chief, devoured the ‘male’, along with its recognizable hole; From it there was only a part of the base resembling a pedestal, which was clearly visible on. Two figures watching the “remains” – a young Dali with his father, rallied in the confrontation of female sexuality, before which the artist was so terrified.
