#SD05-PA<br />

Dali Space Horse<br />

Based on the painting:The temptation of Saint Anthony (1946)<br />

After the Second World War, Dalí converted, by his own<br />

account, to mysticism. The beginning of the Atomic Era strongly<br />

influenced his thinking and led to a strong spiritual foundation for<br />

his paintings which he made with a great appreciation for the<br />

classic art of painting. The temptation of Saint Anthony<br />

originated from an entry for a film poster competition. It shows<br />

Dalí's nuclear mysticism in all its fierceness. A naked Antonius<br />

wards off an frightening mounting horse with a sword, which,<br />

standing on legs as thin as gossamer, defies the laws of gravity.<br />

The Saint tries not to be seduced by the earthly temptations,<br />

symbolised by the horse as a symbol of power, followed by<br />

almost floating elephants which carry on their backs symbols of<br />

lust and greed. Here Dalí dovetails with a classical painter's<br />

theme, which before was used by the painters Bosch and<br />

Breugel, Dalí's surrealistic predecessors. Dalí, though, let the<br />

frightful temptations act in an alienating world between heaven<br />

and earth. However, this "levitation" will later reappear<br />

frequently as a theme in his work<br />
