"Burning Giraffe"

Salvador Dali (i) - Oil (i) - Surrealism (i)
Dali had claimed to be apolitical but Burning Giraffe, which was painted before his exile to the United States, can reveal many personal struggles that he may have had with his country, as the Spanish War of 1937 prevailed. The two female figures in the image are held up by crutches, the one in the foreground has drawers along her leg and one from her chest, her head has no face, no way to communicate, while the figure in the background has crutches along her entire body and had no drawers. This has been interpreted as a depiction of the plight of women and declining human values. The presence of chests is in reference to Psychoanalysis, where drawers symbolize the subconscious within a man. The burning giraffe in the background, which is a motif in his other works, is to represent an apocalypse, a warning for oncoming war, which prevailed as two World Wars occurred since.
