their destruction of the very idea of time. Three watches lie or hang limply, and
the fourth is devoured by ants while а severed chinless head — its tongue
hanging from its nose, its enormous eyelashes extended on its cheeks — lies
equally limp on а barren plain. 1п the background, rendered with hallucinatory
clarity, are the rocky cliffs of а Catalan bау.
А contrast to this small picture is the larger and overpowering Soft
Construction with Boiled Beans: Premonition of Civil War, painted in 1936.
Monstrous fragments of humans — arms, а breast being squeezed by а clawlike
hand, а convulsed and screaming head — tower against а desolate sky partly
covered with filmy clouds. The rocky terrain in the foreground pullulates with
beans, while above one clenched fist а tiny bearded man gazes, disconsolately at
the scene. One of the most frightful images in the entire history of art, this
picture is nonetheless endowed by Dali’s astonishing skill with an unexpected
and terrible beauty.
After considerable activity in the fields of stage design, jewelry design,
and even shop window decoration, Dali moved to Christian art. His technique is
brilliant and his fantasy is magical.
