Something always fascinating to me in Dali's paintings of this period are his little figures walking away in the distance with seemingly no connection to the rest of the image. There is also a good one in "Premonitions of Civil War."

Definitely had it in my mind to save a description of this walking away figure for the very last, as a tool for encapsulating the whole piece, so thanks for giving that attention!

"Boiled beans" ? What a wicked painting. Love this period, yes.

Nobody can do what he did first. Just a bolt of lightning to expectation and comfort...
