Salvador DALI
The Flowering of Inspiration (Gala en fleurs)
Lithograph
Signed in the plate
74,8 x 54,5 cm (29.4 x 21.5 inches)
This artwork is a way to express love and devotion to Dalì's wife Gala who is painted in many pictures of the Spanish artist. Dalì wants to represent the power of the inspiration that Gala
provoques
in him. His most important muse is represented from behind with an explosion of colorful flowers. Gala was for him physical and psychological dependence, the greatest passion, keeper of his
mental
equilibrium, she was able to give security to an illusory strong personality that hid an incurable mental imbalance.
