Invisible Sleeping Woman, Horse, Lion
Salvador Dali
Musee National d-Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France
Great masterworks are born of pain. In his cottage at Port Lligat, Dali now set about painting like one possessed. Invisible Sleeping Woman, Horse, Lion was surely the major work of this period; while The Invisible Man is the first double-image picture of a man and a 'woman, a fetish to protect the two lovers, Dali and Gala, from Dali's father and other dangers. Invisible Sleeping Woman, Horse, Lion not only examines Dali's recurring theme of the persistence of desire, but is also an investigation of multiple-image possibilities such as the artist was to explore over and over again in the sequel. The multiple image, to Dali's way of thinking, could extend the "paranoiac" process by adding a second and even third visual dimension.
