Today: Rare
Custom hidden watermark from the original publisher on each sheet.
Description: Dali had a unique perception of the world. Dali kept up to date on the
latest scientific technology.
When Dali imagined the future, it was not his best guess based on Science Fiction.
Most people can only draw conclusions from science fiction films and literature.
There are published photographs of Dali as a youth, with a
science book tucked under one arm.
Dali spent many years studying the subject.
Dali's opinions and predictions for the future, we based on his extensive
studies of Math, Science, Biology and other subjects.
Some of todays leading scientists predict biological gardens will become a regular part
of cityscape rooftops, as we begin to change the way we live to alter our climate.
This is one of many cases where Dali hit the mark.
You can clearly see a series of U shaped crutches in the image, as they hold
lines with hanging vegitation.
The crutch is a well known Dali Icon, taken from a work titled: Sleep (1937 oil)
According to Dali the act of sleeping was a sort of monster sustained
by the crutches of reality.
