Rare Salvador Dali cast bronze plaque rendition of his renowned work "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea" demonstrating a fascination with perception and the mystery of identity. Dalí layers multiple optical scales to create two paintings in one. The concept awaked Dal?’s old fascination with paranoia – specifically, how much of the reading of an image is from the viewer as distinct from the thing viewed. By squinting slightly and so flattening the depth of field, the portrait of Lincoln snaps into view displacing the figure of Gala. Gala’s figure is framed by the cruciform windows through which the viewer is lead to a crucifixion painted in a heavy impasto. Bronze measures 8 3/8" H x 6 1/4" W, mounted on copper lucite measuring 16" H x 16" W. Weighs 6lbs., 3oz. THIRD PARTY SHIPPING REQUIRED.
