Description of the painting by Salvador Dali “Elephants”
The painting “Elephants” by Spanish artist Salvador Dali was written in 1948. For the first time, an elephant of a type image was depicted in the painting “A Dream”. The image of a mythical elephant with long legs and an obelisk on its back is present in many of Dali’s paintings, this is the “Bernini’s Elephant” or as it is called the “Minerva Elephant” bearing the attributes and obelisks of the pope. This is a large depiction of Dali’s elephants, inspired by a sculpture by Jan Lorenzo-Bernini – an elephant with an obelisk on its back. Perhaps this picture does not carry a certain meaning, but is filled with elements that were once seen.
Which shook the artist for various reasons. It is difficult for many non-artists to understand the fragment depicted in the picture, but any absurdity is a fragment of the fact from the artist’s life. The picture on the background
Below the elephants under their feet are two human silhouettes with elongated shadow reflections. One visually looks like a man who is standing, and the other, running with his hands up, reminds a female image. In the center of the picture is the outline of the house of an unusual image. The canvas is written in the style of surrealism with the unrestrained flight of the artist’s fantasy. Despite the style of presentation in a distorted form, the picture is clear to everyone.
