Brother Dali, also called Salvador, died at the age of two, a year before the birth of the artist. Dali was very similar to his deceased brother and said that his “forced identification with the deceased person meant that the true image of my body was associated with a decaying, decaying, soft and wormy corpse…”. This is the only image of a brother created by Dali, although here the boy is older than his brother before his death. Dali felt that with this picture he was casting out the soul of his brother.
The boy’s face is dotted. This technique was widely used in the pop art of the 1960s. This technique strengthens the sense of the illusory nature of the boy, he is illusory, besides his image is included in the landscape. The boy’s hair forms the wings of a crow; the bird was often seen as the herald of death.
To the left of the boy is a miniature image of the “Angelus” Millet. According to Dali, using an X-ray ray, it can be shown that initially Millet did not paint a basket, but the child’s coffin.
