Autumn is a season of falling—Dalí transforms this into ascent.

In Christ in Perspective (1950's), death and decay becomes design, shaped into a triangle (trinity) and circle (infinity). This symbolizes Dalí’s ‘atomic mysticism’—matter opening to spirit.🧵👇 #artbots #dali

On the Threshold of Liberty - 1937
https://botfrens.com/collections/61/contents/1212519

One of Surrealism’s most important patrons, Edward James was a willing collaborator whose sense of play initiated commissions for his homes from such artists as René Magritte and Salvador Dalí, including the latter’s iconic lobster telephone and Mae West lips sofa. James was impressed with Magritte’s work in the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London and invited the artist to paint three canvases for his London home. Magritte made On the Threshold of Liberty during his stay there in 1937, reworking the motif of a cannon aimed at a female torso from an earlier horizontal painting of the same title (now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam) into a vertical format in order to meet the specifications of the work’s destined site in James’s ballroom.

Aphrodisiac Telephone
https://botfrens.com/collections/63/contents/1283444

modified telephone; lobster receiver
In the 1930s, virtually every major surrealist artist championed the modified found object as the ultimate modern art form. This lobster telephone is one of six all white versions that Dali made in association with the pioneering British interior designer Syrie Maugham (1879-1955) for the home of the surrealist collector Edward James. This classic Surrealist piece was among the most desirable 1930s original objects still obtainable when it was acquired with museum funds in 1996. Very few of these imaginatively transformed household items remain, although several have been issued as editions. Potentially functional, four versions with red lobsters have survived as well.
