Sunday Dalí: Napolean’s Nose. 1945.

This granolithograph, published in 1992, is taken from an original work by Dali entitled Napoleon’s nose transformed in a pregnant woman, who takes her shadow for a melancholy walk amongst original ruins. This image creates a Dalinian metamorphosis, featuring the artist’s most important symbols: the woman, the desert, the crutch and the crucifix, which are represented here in the shadows of the countryside, bathed in a critical paranoiac atmosphere. Irony lies in the fact that the title stresses the less apparent details of the work. In the deserted dream territory of Napoleon’s nose, its shadow and the pregnant woman are only small elements in a vast delirium. (via)
