Dali - Galatea of the Spheres, 1952
This is the last jigsaw puzzle I finished. These days I enjoy making jigsaw puzzles. This was rather an easy one as it was only 500 pieces. This is a painting of Salvador Dali, oil on canvas painted in 1952. I think because of 1952 is the year that my mother was born this painting reminds me of my mum... If you wanna see a bigger version of Galatea of the Spheres all you have to do is click here....
The previous year, Dalн had written his Mystical Manifesto, where he pronounced a new component of his universe, This double image of Gala combines the stimuli of spirituality and science, two recurrent obsessions in Dalн's works dated after the Second World War.

And here is the daily quote of Dali: "Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad."
