Picasso Portrait Surrealism Silver Spoon Brain by Salvador Dali 5.25H

Salvador Dali applies his unique surrealist mastery to this Portrait of Picasso which is composed of a variety of organic elements to form a composite study.  Dali interprets Picasso as an alien like form with a long silver spoon extending from a braided cerebral cortex and sagging chest. At a younger age Dali and Picasso had had a supportive relationship. By 1947, Dali's opinion of Picasso had changed as seen in this less than flattering symbolic composite where Picasso's brain extends through his mouth lapping up inspiration. A lute appears in the spoon as a symbol of a lover. Dali felt Picasso had pushed modern art astray much like the oppressive rock on the head. This statue is an adaptation of the Dali's 1947 painting Portrait of Picasso into three dimensional form. It is part of the highly collectible Parastone Mouseion 3D Collection of museum replicas. Made from hand-painted resin, description card included. Measures 5.25 in H x 3.25 in L x 1.5 in W. Weight 0.4 lbs.
