Homage to Terpsichore

Homage to Terpsichore

Salvador Dalí

Bronze, Green and gold patina, height: 70.5 cm, imitation edition of 350 Copies , signed.

Terpsichore, muse of dance and chorus, is depicted in Dalí's work in a dual form: a soft, sensual dancer is reflected in an angular, geometric "shadow figure." Thus, classicism and cubism meet – a connection that reflects both Dalí's admiration for antiquity and his engagement with Picasso and his own cubist phase of the 1920s.
The smooth, classical figure represents grace and the subconscious, the angular one the chaotic rhythm of modernity. The faceless bodies and growing branches appear typically Dalínian – symbols of the symbolic and of renewal. Homage to Terpsichore thus becomes a multifaceted tribute to the goddess of dance.

SPAIN, 1904 - 1989

Salvador Dalí

Salvador Dalí, born in Figueras in 1904, is considered one of the leading minds of surrealism and one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Around 1929 he found his own style, which explored the world of the unconscious and dreams. With melting clocks and burning giraffes, he created iconic images that show his technical skills in an old-masterly style. Common themes in Dalí's works are intoxication, fever and religion, with his wife Gala often playing a central role. After an eventful life that took him from Spain to the USA and back to Europe, Dalí died in 1989, leaving a lasting legacy in the art world.
