Birth ot the new human
"Enfant géopolitique observant la naissance de l'homme
nouveau"The new human must free itself from the oppressive
entwinement with the ast (1943)Whilst the world is on fire Dalí
paints the birth of the new human. Frightened, seeking the
protection of its mother, the child sees a man struggling to
escape a plastic egg of which the continents drip down. Here
stands the new symbol of a new order, a new beginning for a
new and perfect world. The painting is a plea for a radical
liberation from the oppressive entwinement from the past. In the
opening sentences of his manifest which was published some
years before Dalí says, "When during the history of its culture a
people feel the need to cut the ties with which it is bound to the
logical systems of the past in order to obtain an independent
mythology - a mythology which perfectly fits its essence and its
total expression of their biological reality and is recognised by
the higher elite- then public opinion demands from the pragmatic
society, considering its own systematic, that the motives for
such a split is enlightened with traditional and worn out
formulas."

Dali Lady with Drawers
APARTLINE
Based on the painting:Burning Giraffe (1936-1937) Dalí painted
"Burning Giraffe" during his exile in the United States. Although
Dalí declared himself apolitical, "I am Dalí, and only that.", this
painting shows his personal struggle with the battle in his home
country. Characteristic are the opened draws in the blue female
figure, which Dalí on a later date described as "Femme-coccyx"
(tail bone woman). This phenomenon can be traced back to
Freud's psychoanalytical method, much admired by Dalí. He
regarded him as an enormous step forward for civilisation,
witness his remark. "The only difference between immortal
Greece and our era is Sigmund Freud who discovered that the
human body, which in Greek times was merely neoplatonical, is
now filled with secret drawers only to be opened through
psychoanalysis." The opened drawers in this expressive,
propped up female figure thus refer to the inner, subconscious
within man. In Dalí's own words his paintings form "a kind of
allegory which serves to illustrate a certain insight, to follow the
numerous narcissistic smells which ascend from each of our
drawers.
