El Salvador believed that the painting “Family of marsupial centaurs” testifies to his return to the classical style with more refined technique and harmony. He related the origin of this picture to the theory of Dr. Otto Rank, a psychoanalyst who believed that neuroses can be traced back to birth trauma.
Centaur women have stomachs open, in which there are babies waiting to be hauled out. In The Secret Life, Dali wrote that he envied the centaurs, because “children can leave and return to the paradise of the mother’s womb.”
