Surrealist Newton
Surrealist Newton
Bronze, blue patina, height: 49 cm, limited edition of 350 copies, signed.
With this sculpture, Dalí pays tribute to Isaac Newton and his discovery of gravity, represented here by the apple, frozen as a ball on a string at the moment of its fall. For Dalí, Newton is no longer the central figure as a person, but as a name, reduced to his groundbreaking laws of motion.
Two striking openings reinforce this statement: the oval hole in the head suggests openness, the large one in the torso the absence of the body. When light passes through, it also alludes to Newton's research on optics – a play on science and symbolism.

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.
