Costume pour ‘Tristan fou’ - Le navire (1942/1943)
Painted by:
Salvador Dalí
During his American years Dalí designed new ballets, for which he also created the decors and costumes.
Shown here is an aquarelle with a costume design for the ballet “The insane Tristan”.
Around this time he used the subject of a woman transforming into a ship with puttee also on two smaller paintings.
In 1956 Dalí introduced his own type of still life painting.
Partly in the tradition of 17th century 'still life' painters like Gerard Dou and Jan de Heem,
partly in his surrealistic sublimation of mindfuck.
Floating elements instead of on the tablecloth.
Pay attention especially to the dead swallow which not at all flies in the air.
