What was the meaning behind this painting by salvador dali??
Salvador Dali’s work reflects the artists’ total involvement in the Freudian concept of the subconcious as a narrative field. Trivial facts, like daily activities, become important parts of a strange but hallucinatory drama. Oedipus conflicts, childhoodobsessions mingle in his hugely varied landscapes of the present to create a disturbing and ambiguous atmosphere. Dali then intervenes, taking advantage of our timidity, to upset the smooth runnign of reality as it is generally known. The hidden significance of everyday objects in contrast with their unusual organization disturbs us more perhaps because of our familiarity with these objects than because of their unexpected forms. According to a Freudian principle, it is obvoius that reason rationalizes reality for us without any apparent danger. Dali succeeds in sabatoging the mechanism of this useful and familiar process.
